- What is PrtSc?
-
- PrtSc is a little utility that makes the PrtSc-key to work as it
- should, so by pressing the PrtSc-key, you get a dump of the foremost
- screen. PrtSc needs DOS2.0 (V36).
-
- How does it work?
-
- PrtSc waits you to press the PrtSc-key and when pressed, it dumps
- the current screen via printer.device using the current printer
- preferences. PrtSc works in the background, so it should't slow
- the machine down a lot. At least I've used it for months without
- even remembering it's there.
-
- How do I use it?
-
- Copy the program to your c: drawer and execute it from there with
- the 'run' command. PrtSc uses the printer.device so it should be in
- the devs: drawer. All the other files that are needed to print
- something, need to be in their own drawers too.
- To get a dump of the foremost screen press the Shift and PrtSc-keys.
- There's no matter which Shift you use, the Left or the Right, both
- should do. The PrtSc-key should be found on the numeric keypad. In my
- keyboard it is with the '*'-key.
- To quit PrtSc have a good press of the Ctrl and Esc keys.
-
- Notes
-
- - There are no options, yet. The dump should be as many pixels
- as the screen size is, though the ASPECT mode is used, so the
- other dimension might be scaled.
-
- - If you dump a 640 pixels wide screen, it should be double as wide
- as a 320 pixel dump.
-
- - Changing the printer preferences may alter the results, so they
- should be properly set.
-
- - If nothing happens when you press the PrtSc-key, try pressing it
- longer. If nothing still happens, try something like 'list to prt:'
- to see if you get that printed. If nothing happens, check the
- connections and that all the system files needed to print are
- placed correctly.

- History
-
- V1.07 (Wednesday, 3 March 1993)
- The first usable version of this program. There are no options yet.
- The print size should be as many pixels as the screen size is. V37
- is required.
- Size = 1084 bytes
-
- V1.08 (Wednesday, 23 June 1993)
- A very minor update. I browsed the Kernel Manual and realized that
- this might even work on V36 machines, so now it needs V36 to work.
