for Xenix?

Bob Palowoda asked: Is there a program to do a print screen (with the print screen key) for Xenix? And the answer is: yes, if you mean the console. Aside from using the screen printing capability of SCO Multiview, there is also a little "screengrabber" utility from Driver Design Labs (Vancouver BC) which will do the job. If you are on a linemode terminal, it's a bit of a problem since the "screen", as such, does not exist unless you are using multiview or some similar kind of windowing package. Some kinds of terminals have the ability to copy the screen to a local memory though, and can be programmed to capture that image onto a local printer, via an escape sequence processed by the terminal.

No. At least, not a generic one common to many strains of Unix. If you are running a program which isn't a tty facist, you could pipe to "tee" and record the entire session. Then all you need to do is edit out the portions you need. Of course, this has drawbacks to the point of near impossibility, if the program is a visual (eg Curses-based) one. Separating display-programming sequences from data can be a true pleasure [ :-( ]. -- Dave Hammond daveh@marob.masa.com

Curses print screen routine is easy. I've written one for bsd and xenix (i should make a note, not the same). Just hack(if you can call it that) around with the internal 'window' structure. -- conan@vax1.acs.udel.edu OR conan@192.5.57.1 CONAN THE BARBARIAN of Cimmeria
