From: tomr@maccs.dcss.mcmaster.ca (Rickey Thomas Tom) Path: maccs.dcss.mcmaster.ca!tomr Newsgroups: comp.sys.ibm Subject: graphics and c on the pc Expires: References: Sender: Followup-To: Distribution: world Organization: McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada Keywords: I wrote a program in Turbo C version 2 that displays CGA level graphics on the screen. Using the program graphics.exe supplied by DOS ver 3.3, I can get the graphics printed out on a cheap Rolland PR1011 using a screen dump facility of DOS (Shift Print Screen). However, the same procedures do not work on the more expensive printers such as the NEC P2200, or an a laser printer. Therefore, an alternative is to write a program that read video memory (at EGA or CGA) level and print out the contents of each pixel. My question is, is that right ??. Does anyone know of a program that does this or where I can get such a program. I'm sure they must exist in some public domain group. It must work on a Samsug machine hooked up to a laser printer. Any reply that is sent to the above address would be greatly appreciated!!
