Hello. I have a slight problem; I need to document the RUN of my assignment that I have programmed on the Amiga. I will be writting more assignments on it, and I hear the program called HARDCOPY could help me with my task. I hear it is somewhere in the Fish Disk Ocean, but I have no access to FTP from here. If anyone out there has access to it, please contact me. This means alot to me. Thanks for your time. Shan McArthur

HARDCOPY may be found on Fish Disk #75; see the ls and POSTER attached. The
program is neat and I, too, use it for documentation of sessions (in fact, the
attachment to this posting was produced using HARDCOPY).
HOWEVER: due to "something" unbeknownst to me, HARDCOPY does *NOT* function
with ConMan (any version), and I've heard that it also doesn't function in
conjunction with other console daemons. The problem (dysfunction) also is
evident with RollBack and ConMan. RollBack (by Andry Rachmat) permits one to
use the mouse to scroll down the CLI window to see what's gone off the top.
If someone would like to look into the problem (HARDCOPY not working with
ConMan), I'd be happy to email the sources if FF#75 isn't available to you.
Perhaps Bill Hawes (ConMan, AREXX, etc.) may have some ideas; I don't get on
BIX too often, so if someone could pose the question to him on our behalf ...
In any event, here's what I have (from Usenet) and what's on the Fish Disk:

Well, here's a little program that uses Phillip Lindsay's MONPROC idea to
create a hardcopy transcript of any CLI session. See the documentation for
details. I thought it made a good, real-life example of the techniques used
in MONPROC. Hope someone finds this useful!
