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.
