I picked up a PrtSc program off the Net a while back, called PSPLUS, which claimed to do Print Screen with VGA. Well, I finally got around to trying it, and, guess what? It does not do graphics print screens as the text implied. It does 80 column text print screen. I need an EGA graphics PrtSc program, preferably one that also does VGA, since that is what I have. I have been watching for one, but kinda stopped looking after pulling off the PSPLUS mentioned above. Does anyone have one they could Email to me? If so, you may want to Email me before sending it so I don't get multiple copies. Thanks in advance! Isn't it so nice that even up to DOS 3.3, the GRAPHICS.COM program still handles only CGA, even though you rarely see anything less than EGA these days? ------------------------------------------------- Gary.Harrington@Wichita.NCR.COM Wichita, KS

This is a TSR that allows you to capture the screen into a graphics file. Then from WordPerfect you may do some scaling/rotating/inverting before print it.

The July 90 issue of The C User's Journal has an article descibing the creation of just such a utility. This resident print handler is designed to dump EGA screens to a CalComp Plotmaster color printer. Since the code is included it should be relatively easy to modify this to suit your needs. Another alternative would be to get a "screen grabber" and then dump the resulting files to your printer using another utility like gifdot. > Gary.Harrington@Wichita.NCR.COM > Wichita, KS Good luck, Stephen Coy uw-beaver!ssc-vax!coy

I have been watching for one, but kinda stopped A few weeks ago I wrote a screen-dump program in Turbo-C for EGA/VGA for EPSON FX-800 printer. Anyone interested? (It does not handle textmode) (yet :-) Disclaimer: I will not be held responsible for any damage........
