This program is public domain. It may be distributed as long as the

DESCRIPTION
This program prints the contents of the frontmost screen, no matter what
depth it has or if it's a true EGS screen or a screen of an EGS workbench
emulation. This even works if there's no EGS at all or if the screen has
a colour resolution of 24 bits (but then, only 12 bits are printed as the
printer device supports no more than that).
After invoced, EGSPrint waits for about ten seconds to give you the
opportunity to bring the desired screen in front. Then printing starts
with resolution etc. selected by the printer preferences. If you want to
print a true or emulated EGS screen, you will have to name the monitor to
get the screen from (EGS supports multiple monitors). Specifying no
monitor will print the frontmost Amiga screen.
EGSPrint needs a lot of memory, especially for EGS screens. EGSPrint needs
EGS version 6 or higher. Verify that you have the file
"EGS:egsclasses/PlaneMap12.class".
