As noted in the game docs and multiple FAQ sites, press the "Screenshot" key
(I think it's "\"), which will save a .pcx image in your \Sierra\Nascar2
directory.  You can then open this image with any image editor such as
Paintshop Pro.

 Make sure you run NASCAR2.exe, not NASREND.EXE.  The generated bitmap is
not usable from the Rendition version.  /TomH

Hey Tom,

I've gotten images from my rendition version.  I don't know where you heard
that but at least in my case, it works OK.

Screenshots of the Rendition version will come out with garbled colors
because of the way the framebuffer is accessed.  Yours shouldn't be any
different.

Well, I'm looking at one that's on my desktop as a wallpaper right now and I
gotta tell ya, I don't see anything wrong with this.

Hmmm.... could you please find a way to post them anywhere (EXCEPT on
r.a.s.) like on alt.binaries.simulators.autos  or maybe a website ? Nobody
AFAIK was able to this date to make a rendition screenshot of Nascar2 that
was good-looking. We would all love to see it.
