If you follow this newsgroup, you might have noticed that I was playing with
ANSI.SYS and making a batch file to install kermit on my users' hard drives.
(incidently, I figured out a way to check & see if DEVICE=ANSI.SYS has been
defined in CONFIG.SYS)
Now I've got an attractive screen in multiple colors and I want to make a
hard copy of it. I have access to several 3270 PC/ATs that run GCP, the
Graphic Control Program, and actually run DOS as a task underneath it.
When you press the PrtScrn on a 3270 PC running GCP, it creates a .PIF file
that can be printed on an IBM printer with a simple utility program. Its
easy to take a color snapshot of an interactive kermit session.
Unfortunately, you can't create a snapshot from DOS when the ANSI.SYS device
driver is running.
Is this the way of the world, or does some GCP expert know a way around this
limitation? Is there such a thing as a GCP expert?
