FXPRTSC : Epson FX-Series Print-Screen Program
Version 2.76, 23-Mar-1987
SMG Software

All Rights Reserved
This program, when installed, provides a much faster version of
the print-screen function. This is accomplished by scanning off
trailing spaces. This program also appends a Form-Feed (New Page) at
the end of each print-screen. In addition, with FXPrtSc, you can
terminate a print-screen in progress simply by entering another print-
screen. Another useful advanced feature of FXPrtSc is that a character
mapping table is provided at offset 300H. This table can be patched
(using DEBUG, or any other debugger) to prevent the printer from going
ape when you do a print-screen with extended ASCII characters on the
screen. In its present form, FXPrtSc will print the standard and
extended ASCII characters AS IS, and will only map out control
characters (0-31). This program also uses the special features of the
Epson FX-Series printers to approximate screen attributes on the
printer as follows:
Screen Printer
--------- ---------
Normal Normal
Underline Underline
Highlight Emphasized
Reverse Subscript
Blinking Doublestrike
To install FXPrtSc, simply type FXPRTSC at the DOS Prompt. From that
time on, FXPrtSc will intercept all Print-Screens. To disable FXPrtSc
and return to the original Print-Screen function, enter "FXPRTSC -",
and to re-enable FXPrtSc, enter "FXPRTSC +". For a quick demonstration
of FXPrtSc, make sure you have the file TESTPAT.COM, and then type the
following at the DOS Prompt:
FXPRTSC
TESTPAT
Also included with this package is another program, PRTSC.COM,
that will enable you to produce command-driven Print-Screens. This is
useful if you wish have a batch file initiate a print screen (for
example, if an error occurs). This program will work with OR without
FXPRTSC. It simply simulates the pressing of Shift-PrtSc on the
keyboard.

This software is distributed as ShareWare. "ShareWare" means that
you are granted free license to use and copy this software as much as
you like, within the following restrictions:
1). It is distributed in its original, unmodified form,
including program and documentation.
2). No fee is charged for use, copying or distribution (With
the exception of nominal "per disk" copying charges, not to
exceed $6.00 per disk).
3). The program may not be included with other goods or
services supplied for a fee, unless written permission to
do so is obtained in advance from the author.
You are not required to register your shareware, but if you are using
the program, and find it helpful, you are expected to register.
Registration fees are as follows:
Full Registration (w/full support) ........ $15.00
Basic Registration (w/basic support) ...... $10.00
Please make checks payable to Steven M. Georgiades. Note that you are
not LEGALLY obligated to register, but if you use the software
regularly, you are MORALLY obligated to do so. Aside from easing your
conscience, basic registration will also get you a diskette containing
the latest version of the software (unless you currently have the
latest version, in which case I will send you the next major revision),
a printed version of the documentation (8-1/2 x 11, unless you specify
6-1/4 x 8-1/2), and basic user support, which means that I will work
with you to resolve problems, and will do minor customization. Full
registration will get you everything that basic registration does, plus
full user support, which includes telephone support and all major
revisions of the software for two (2) years from the date of
registration. Fully registered users will also receive new SMG
releases from time to time for evaluation. In return for these
evaluations, the user will receive full registration for the new
software at no charge. When you register, please specify the name of
the program, and the version number.
Note that no support will be given to unregistered users EXCEPT in
the case of MAJOR bugs which preclude the unregistered user from using
the program. I will then do my best to resolve these problems so that
the user may evaluate the software fully.
