I have developed a number of programs which utilize the 640x400 resolution graphics mode of the AT&T/Olivetti 6300 (?) graphics adapter. (Actually I'm just using the built in display on a GRiD 1530, but it has a 640x400 mode.) This is essentially a CGA with addtional modes to support the higher resolution. Does anyone know of a way to print these screens? The normal DOS graphics screen dump just doesn't do the job. I hav had marginal success using the FRIEZE program which came with the PBRUSH program (which in turn came with my MicroSoft Mouse). Essentially, I capture the screen to a file (The PrtScrn option won't work inside of FRIEZE), load it up inside of PBRUSH, and then print it. Unfortunately this prints things out invereted. A lot of black and a little bit of white (which looks terrible on a dot-matrix printer). I can invert the picture, but only through a tedious process of selecting rectangular regions on the screen. There is no way to invert the whole picture at a time (or select the whole picture at a time and invert it). I've looked at the format of the picture file, but haven't been able to figure out which bits to change so that the picture gets inverted. But there must be a better way to print the screen directly ...? ---- Name: Eric A.

PCPaintbrush should have come with a program called SETCOLOR. You can use that to set what 'shading' goes with what color. To reverse the image, just reverse the order of the color settings, with color 0 being 'white', and color 15 being 'black.' andyross@ddsw1.mcs.com -or- ...!ddsw1!andyross
