Hi

patch to save as a .NEO file has been merged 
(https://github.com/hatari/hatari/pull/31)

Thanks to Brad for contributing.

Altough Brad's patch also supported TT/Falcon screen or more than 4 bpp 
screen, I only applied the parts that handle standard STF/STE video mode 
and a resulting 32128 bytes .NEO file.

I'm not quite sure that the extended format Brad added for TT/Falcon and 
that stores some extra palette is needed, I'd rather keep a .NEO file 
format that matches the "original" specs (if such things ever existed :) )

By default Hatari saves in .png format, to save in .neo format one needs 
to add this line to hatari.cfg in the [Screen] section :

bNEOScreenSnapShot=TRUE


As we can also save in .BMP format, a possible small enhancement could 
be to add some choices in the "Hatari Screen" option menu to choose the 
saving format between .PNG, .BMP or .NEO (and save this in hatari.cfg)

If someone feels like adding this ?
