Printing Graphics Screens
Version 2.0 of the IBM DOS has a program called GRAPHICS
that allows you to print a graphics -display screen. The program as
IBM created it is, however, not compatible with Star printers. But
all that is required to make it work is to change two bytes of the
program. This can easily be done with the DEBUG program that
comes with IBM DOS. (Even if you have never used DEBUG
before we will lead you through it.)
The
first
step is to create
a diskette
with
DOS,
GRAPHICS.COM and DEBUG.COM on it (it doesn't matter if
there are other things on it too). We will leave it to you to create
this diskette. Look in your computer's manual if you have trouble.
Be sure that this is not your original DOS diskette.
With this diskette in drive A, follow the script below. The
things that you are to type are shown in italic type. The messages
that will appear on your screen are shown in regular type. With
two exceptions, every number should appear on your screen
exactly as it does in this script. The two exceptions are the four
digit numbers before the colons (0921: in the script). They may be
different on your computer. The symbol (enter) means to press
the enter key.
A) DEBUG GRAPHICS.COM (enter)
-E 169 (enter)
jiI921:fiI169
18.1/J (enter)
-E 29 (enter)
0921:025pI 24.18 (enter)
-W (enter)
Writing 0315 bytes
-Q (enter)
To use this program, type GRAPHICS at the A) prompt before
you create a graphics image on the screen. Then when you want
to print a graphics image, press shift-PrtSc and the image will be
copied from the screen to the printer. For more information on
the GRAPHICS program refer to your DOS manual.
