Hi, I would like to log a session using DOS V3.3 (everything that goes to the screen also goes to disk) Is there a way or a small program that will allow this? Thanks, Mike Ray

An extract from /pc/ts/tsfaq14.arc (available by anonymous ftp or mail server from uwasa.fi archives): 1. ***** Q: I want to capture to a file everything that comes on the screen. How do I do this? A1: There are two sets of programs that are useful here. The first set consists of programs which automatically capture to a file everything that comes on the screen. Examples of these "scrolling" programs are /pc/pd2/concpy11.zip (or whatever version is the latest) and /pc/pd2/script11.zip. The second set are the "static" programs which capture a snapshot of the screen, or a portion of the screen at the invocation of a hot key. Get /pc/pd2/snippr22.zip for such a utility. Another is /pc/printer/lamneth.zip which redirects the results of pressing the PrintScreen key to a file instead of the printer. Please note that these programs only work for the text mode. They won't capture graphics output. (The same also goes for the next Q&As). A2: How to find files on chyde.uwasa.fi: If you are looking for a particular program at chyde.uwasa.fi you should start by getting the following files: /pc/INDEX /pc/pd2/0dir-pd2 /pc/ts/0dir-ts /pc/ts/tsarc100.txt (or whatever version number is latest) And for seeing what is new in the /pc/pd2 and /pc/ts directories, get /pc/pd2/0news-pd2 /pc/ts/0news-ts 2. ***** Q: I want to get printed everything that comes to the screen. How can I achieve this? A: Simple. First capture the output to a file (see the previous Q&A) and then print the file. 3. ***** Q: How can I direct all output to a file instead of the printer? A: There is a good utility called /pc/pd2/lptx.zip exactly for this purpose. It comes in several versions. There is another utility /pc/printer/prn2file.zip which I haven't tested myself, but should be good judging from the comments of the others. ...................................................................

In addition to the logging capability you desire, it has many options and features over and above MS-DOS (it is a COMMAND.COM replacement, if you don't know), and is well worth trying. You can get it from the SIMTEL archive, among other places. If you don't know what that is, reply by email and I'll fill you in. -- Mark A.
