1646.0. "New hardcopy program?" by KBOMFG::HAUCK () Thu Sep 01 1988 11:06

    
    Hi Guys,
    
    I miss a TXT hardcopy routine on my Amiga that has the similar effect
    like the 'Print Screen' key at vt2xx terminals.
    Has anyone a programm that runs in backgrond till a defined key
    is pressed and prints the screen in text-mode (not like
    the numerous hardcopy-programms in graphic-mode or only as opinion)!
                                                         
    
    
    thanks,
    
      Jochen.

1646.1... the impossible just takes longerMEIS::ZIMMERMANWalt sent meThu Sep 01 1988 13:335
    Yeah, and could you make it one that works when you're logged in and 
    your printer and modem are connected to the serial port via an A-B 
    switch?

Re: .0

Run SnipIt in your startup sequence.

After you do that, you can cut and paste text from any console window.
So, you could cut the text you want to print, paste it into a file,
and print it.
1646.3check your extras diskNEWVAX::FILERThu Sep 01 1988 17:026
    	There was a program on the extras disk that came with my 500
    that does this but you need to mess around changing screens to use
    it. If you are into modifying code you can check it out. I have
    used it once or twice but I had to keep swapping disks (I realy
    need another one) ans screens but it works. Check the FF public
    domain software. It would be a nice feature in a vt emulator.

    Hi Randy,
    
    How can I get SnipIt?
    Is it somewhere in the net?

	Are there any Snip-it like tools for lefties?  I work the mouse
with my left hand, and Snip-it is awkward to the point of being un-usable,
in that I need to issue a control key sequence on the left side of the
keyboard with my right hand.
