[comp.sys.apple] Screen Dump

srk@actnyc.UUCP (Shalom Krischer) (05/05/87)

A friend asked me to find out if there is a way to capture TEXT
information on the screen, and print it.  This is NOT the same
as for graphics, since graphics pages do not go "bye-bye" when
a program finishes executing; in fact, countless such "grappler"
programs do exist.  Rather, he wants to print the TEXT page.
If anyone out there knows of such a program (preferably PD, or
ShareWare, but he will also consider a real purchase) please
respond by E-mail, since I do not subscribe to this News group.
Thanks in advance,

  Kevin Stiles asked how to send the screen image to an Imagewriter from a IIE.
The easiest way is through a printer interface that supports screen dumps.
Several firms make such interfaces.  I haven't used any, so I can't vouch for
them, however, you might check out the Serial Grappler, a multifunction card
from Applied Engineering, the Grappler + Serial from Orange Micro, Print-It
from Textprint or Fingerprint from Thirdward.
