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.
