-
- SYNOPSIS

- STATUS AND COPYRIGHT
- 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".
