Is there a way to do a screen dump (print screen) in xenix. I am running xenix on a compaq 286 and am looking for a way to print what is on the screen (nec multisync II color terminal). Is there a memory location I can access or a system call of some kind that will do this for me???????

SCO addressed this question in their last bi-monthly user's magazine but they missed the mark COMPLETELY. Their answer had to do with output redirection which is kind of hard to do AFTER the application is already running. The only soultion I have been able to find is to go to a remote terminal that has local print capability and run the program again. Even this doesn't help if an error appears at the console that you may not be able to (easily) duplicate. If you get any "good" answers via mail, I would be interested in hearing them too. BTW, I work for Illinois Bell.
