Is there a FreeBSD utility to grab a text screen shot.  We don't run
X, but instead run FreeBSD 2.2.1 in text mode only.  I would like to
be able to grab a copy of the screen contents, and save it to a file.

Ideally, I would like to be able to grab a shot of any console, but I
can live with only being able to grab the active console.

Please repsond in email to:

Thanks for any help.
