I have been asked on quite a few occasions how to dump my programs to a
printer. There appears not to be a simple way.

I have just uploaded to my website a procedure which at least works. It
involves actually going via my website and using the "Paint" program which
usually comes with Microsoft Windows. There may be other programs which
will do the same thing. I am indebted to Jack, G3PVG for the basic
procedure.

Interested? Go to "Dump Program Results to Printer" in the "Index" section
on my website.

Reg,
There's a problem with XP. It won't do a screen dump from a DOS program
(there's progress for you).

======================================

Ian, I just KNEW some bleeding thing would cock it up.

My system is Windows-98.

And, curses, my brand new standby lap-top has Windows-XP which I didn't try
it out on.

Very likely future versions of Windows won't be interested in DOS at all.

But I still think there MUST be a way of doing it even with Win-XP. Yes, we
have a lot to thank Bill Gates for!

Computer software is still stuck at the stage where "Puffing Billy" was in
the early Victorian age of steam.

About two eons ago I got tired of trying to "communicate" the outputs I
get from my assorted technoid's programs which my e-mail recipients
don't have installed on their hard drives. One cannot ship a CAD file,
or a Mathcad file or an antenna modeling file to somebody who does not
have the corresponding software up and running. Very frustrating.

After much thrashing I discovered the solution: Screengrabs via Gadwin.
It's freeware which generates .png files which can be opened, viewed
and printed in any Winbox running any O/S from 98 forward including
XP in all it's sick forms. Gadwin can grab anything and everything you
can bring up on your screen and it can be not only viewed, it can also
be printed and stored for future use.

http://www.gadwin.com/printscreen/

Double-click on any .png file and it'll come up on your browser.
Including Firefox.

As soon as I log off here Reg I'll run one of your gems and e-mail the
output screen to you as a demo.

I think that's Alt-PrtScn.

Sort of but the screengrab programs take the concept much farther than
just Alt-PrintScr which only creates ponderous Windoze .bmps. In the
case of Gadwin it will produce not only .bmps, it can also churn out
..jpgs, gifs, tifs and others. The .pngs it creates are amazingly small
vs. the rest which matters when tossing image files around by e-mail.
The size & area of the capture window can be mouse-defined anywhere on
the screen and the view size of the output image can be controlled via
adjustable magnification. Gadwin is a nice little piece of freeware but
the payware screen grab programs like Snagit take the fine art to much
higher levels.

In any event I've found that Gadwin is far more useful than the
Clipboard routine when it comes to doing chores like capturing,
storing, printing and e-mailing screen grabs.

There are several screen grab programs out there that will do the job.
My favorite is WinGrab. Its main features a

* Freewa No registration and no nags. You are free to use the
program at home and at your office (i.e. commercial use).
* Hot keys: Trigger capture by pressing user-defined hot keys. One
key for hiding/showing the program, one key for capturing a window and
one key for capturing the screen.
* Auto-save: Triggered by a hot key, the program can capture +
save to file in one operation, without any user intervention
(automatic incremental file naming).
* Time-scheduled captuNew Capture + save to file (auto-save) at
regular time intervals.
* Cursor captu New The mouse cursor is included in the
captures.
* Index images: Can create index images (overview image with an
array of small images). The tiling of images can be freely set by
user. Useful to get an overview of images.
* Color reduction: High quality color reduction to 256 colors (8
bits/pixel). Useful for reducing file size.
* Cropping: Crop images after drawing a bounding rectangle with
the mouse.
* Clipboard: Copy and paste images using the Windows clipboard.
Useful for exchange with other programs.
* Graphic formats: Supported formats are jpeg, png, tiff, bmp. The
degree of jpeg compression can be set by user, giving full control
over image quality and file size. Can create progressive jpeg's and
interlaced png's.
* Batch printing: Print a list of images with any number of images
tiled on the same sheet of paper (similar appearance as index images).
Useful for printing a series of captures.
* Image-viewing: Useful as a simple image-viewer. To open an
image, doubleclick on the file or drag & drop it on the program
window. Jpeg images can be decompressed to a smaller size for faster
viewing. Fast zoom in/out by clicking the mouse buttons.
* Image text: Can store text in image files (jpeg, tiff, png).
Useful for storing notes about images.

Nope. Doesn't work for me.
It does a capture, but I just capture a black screen.
Will persevere!

Look for Mr Snappy 95. It was made for Windows 95 but it works in XP to
take a screen shot. I have used it to send someone a screen shot to show
them their PSK signal. One source is http://www.nascanada.com/Software.htm
Their description of it says: This is an older screen capture utility. But
its very small and powerful and we have discovered that it works with
Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, and 2000. It will probably work with XP as well. It
can capture the whole screen, the active window, or a selectable area of the
screen. It can put the captured image to a file, to the clip board, or you
can print it out directly. This is a must have utility.

Nope. It doesn't work for me.
When running a DOS program, it does a capture, but I only get a black
screen. Same as Gadwin.

Both work OK in Windows XP, but really no better than using 'Print
Screen' to capture the screen image to the clipboard.

For me, it's either run the DOS prog in a Windows window (screen dump
works), or run full screen, and use Print Screen to capture the text,
and paste it to a blank Word document (then tidy it up a bit).

I can live with this.

Ian.
