[unix-pc.general] PaintPower Printing

gmark@ihlpf.ATT.COM (Stewart) (12/28/87)

	I am trying to find a way to print the output screen from 
Paint Power on my Tandy DMP-110 printer.  I just got done writing
a driver to do a screen print on it thanks to help I received from
net readers, especially Harold Bamford (thanks again, guy!), and
it works beautifully.  Seems Paint Power doesn't know about the
DMP-110 printer (surprise!).  However, I like the printer, and it
does a really nice job (besides being cheap).  I would appreciate any
information on how to print the Paint Power screen using this printer,
or, at least, how to find out how to write a driver that would
print the ENTIRE Paint Power picture screen, or at least how to
get to the ADDRESS of the picture so I can dump the bit-map of
the whole picture image.  
	For those of you who are not sure what I'm talking about,
the screen print I already have will only print a single visible
screen display, whereas what I'm interested in is printing an ENTIRE
Paint Power picture, which spans MORE than one screen, and is only
truly visible on the 3B1 by scrolling.  

	Thanks (of course) in advance!

Sorry I don't have any help for you on you query about PaintPower, but...

Could you please post a description of PaintPower, what it does, and
what it's good for?

There are apparently a number of interesting packages available for
the 3B1 that some of us have heard very little or nothing about.  If
anyone has experience with any other software packages for the 3B1 I'm
sure the rest of us would appreciate hearing about them.

Thanks.
