I am learning how to use a new 286 machine with a VGA monitor. I want to get graphics output on a printer which is Proprinter compatible. I first tried to use the GRAPHICS command, but it doesn't work. I was then told that GRAPHICS.COM only works with CGA (although the manual doesn't say this), and that I need a replacement for GRAPHICS.COM which is smart enough to handle VGA. So my question is where can I find such a program? I assume that this is a common problem. Thanks. Nick

I've been using the Herceps program for printing the screen up to now, but it'd be nice if this were included as part of DOS. (By the way, Herceps is VERY nice, and I'll likely go on using it whether GRAPHICS.COM supports Hercs or not!) --Jeff Hartung-- Disclaimer: My opinions only, etc., etc., BLAH! BLAH! BLAH!...

Nope, no hercules... There was an article in PC magazine a while back how to patch graphics.com from 4.0 to remove the 'incorrect dos version' trap, and to make it version-indepentent. bye

Several weeks ago I asked about getting VGA graphics output dumped to a printer. There were a number of suggestions, some of which involved examining the archives at simtel. Unfortunately, I have had no luck ftp-ing to simtel. The problem is always different - they are either down, have too many anonymous users, etc. So, I ask for help again. Does anyone have or know where I can get (other than simtel) a replacement for graphics.com which can deal with VGA. I am using a Zenith 286 machine, running dos3.3plus. Many thanks in advance. Nick

(It does a reasonably good job: it looks in DAC registers, etc.) The only problem is, that when you run it from a different DOS version, you'll get an error message. But in a recent (I don't know which) PC Magazine there was a patch for it. Succes, Michael

SIMTEL20 has a limited number of net ports available for FTP jobs.
Lately we've seen very heavy FTP usage. When insufficient net ports
are available you will get a message that says the FTP connection was
refused. It's possible that your host's FTP may display "Service
Unavailable" when that happens.
Because of the very high demand for anonymous FTP services it became
necessary to limit the maxiumum number of those jobs in order to
preserve reasonable response time for our *paying* users. If you get
a message that says there are too many anonymous ftp jobs, just keep
trying, as you would for a busy phone number.
