- 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.
