I need info. on doing a screen dump to Xenix(SCO 2.2 and 2.3) based printer. I got information that SCO Xenix 2.2 do not allow screen dump capability. Any pointers regarding this will be appreciated. Sreedhar.

There are a couple of possibilities: 1. Using the printer port on a terminal (least attractive) 2. Using the command that tells a terminal to send it's contents back to the host, then print that information (we've used this in the past and it's not too bad) 3. Use a package like MultiView or use Emacs or anything else that uses pseudo-ttys and captures a screen image. Then that software will almost undoubtedly have the capability to print the screen image (as MultiView and Emacs do). -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ : Steven List @ Transact Software, Inc. :^>~ : : Chairman, Unify User Group of Northern California : : {apple,coherent,limbo,mips,pyramid,ubvax}!itkin@guinan.Transact.COM :
