HARDCOPY may be found on Fish Disk #75; see the ls and POSTER attached.  The
program is neat and I, too, use it for documentation of sessions (in fact, the
attachment to this posting was produced using HARDCOPY).

HOWEVER: due to "something" unbeknownst to me, HARDCOPY does *NOT* function
with ConMan (any version), and I've heard that it also doesn't function in
conjunction with other console daemons.  The problem (dysfunction) also is
evident with RollBack and ConMan.  RollBack (by Andry Rachmat) permits one to
use the mouse to scroll down the CLI window to see what's gone off the top.

If someone would like to look into the problem (HARDCOPY not working with
ConMan), I'd be happy to email the sources if FF#75 isn't available to you.
Perhaps Bill Hawes (ConMan, AREXX, etc.) may have some ideas; I don't get on
BIX too often, so if someone could pose the question to him on our behalf ...

In any event, here's what I have (from Usenet) and what's on the Fish Disk:

[If you can read this, there ain't no line-eater bug]

Well, here's a little program that uses Phillip Lindsay's MONPROC idea to
create a hardcopy transcript of any CLI session.  See the documentation for
details.  I thought it made a good, real-life example of the techniques used
in MONPROC.  Hope someone finds this useful!
