Yes, it would be possible to write a "screendump" ML routine that
converts to BMP, but it surely wouldn't fit into ALTLCD's 320 byte code
space and would have to be a .CO file that is loaded somewhere in
HIMEM. A screendump could be useful for some applications I suppose.
Of course the BASIC programs we have been talking about are displaying
an image on the M100 LCD that *originated* from a JPG / PBM file. So
why not just convert the JPG / PBM file to BMP directly using your fancy
i5 or i7? In fact, and this was purely for testing purposes mind you,
;-) I have *other* images I have created for the M100 that can be
displayed using APRAW which came from JPGs (images you probably wouldn't
want to display on your portable if you were, I don't know, at work for
instance).
The idea of actually "printing" the screen to something (anything) like
an FX80 just seemed retro-cool, and since the only compatible "printer"
I have is the VirtualT FX80 emulation, that became the natural choice.

It might be difficult to code, but would a conversion to BMP not be
possible? Considering the never-changing nature of the Model T's
screen (240x64, monochrome) it shouldn't take too much place. Even if
.BMP is a wastefull standard, it would give an easy way to interchange
screendumps and logos to and from the Model T.
Just my 2c.
