Hi group, Does anyone know if a version of GRAPHICS.EXE exists that will permit shift-PrcSc to do a bitmap dump of the EGA mode screen to an IBM/Epson graphics compatible printer? Perhaps, in DOS 3.2? Thank you in advance for your help to anybody who answers.

Perhaps, in DOS 3.2? No, DOS 3.2 does not support the EGA with the GRAPHICS command. You will need to look around for a PD version, or perhaps a commercial product. I have not seen such a program around. ---- Dan Crimmins University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Computing Services Office - Micro Consulting Dept.

Perhaps, in DOS 3.2? I recently bought some stuff from PC-Connection (good mail order company) and received with my order a flyer on a program called "Pizazz." I don't have the flyer handy so I don't recall who makes it. PC-Connection is selling it for $35 as seen in a recent PC Week Ad. It says it will not only print from CGA, EGA, Hercules, ad-nauseum, but it listed a whole bunch of different printers that it will print on, everything from Epson and IBM to most laser printers. Better yet, it will do colors if you have a color printer, and it does image smoothing! Caveat: I just read the advertising; I have NOT tried it! I have no connection with any of the aforementioned companies. -- Tom Putnam Manager of User Services ARPANET: tmp@j.cc.Purdue.EDU Purdue University Computing Center BITNET: PUTNAMT@PURCCVM Mathematical Sciences Bldg.

Perhaps, in DOS 3.2? I'm not sure, but I thought that version 3 DID do this! My roomate has a Leading Edge PC with a Panasonic printer and he runs a version of DOS 3.xx. He's able to run GRAPHICS.EXE and then Shft-PrScr to dump a screen to his printer. This doesn't say much does it? I think it IS possible though. -- Steve Cooper ...!seismo!umcp-cs!jhunix!ins_asac jhunix!ins_asac@CSNET
