Message-ID: Date: 18 Feb 91 10:53:52 GMT References: <60293@eerie.acsu.Buffalo.EDU> Organization: Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh, PA Lines: 13 In-Reply-To: <60293@eerie.acsu.Buffalo.EDU> By writing a program (usually in assembly; it could be done in BASIC but would be slow) to read the Hi-Res screen, translate the one-pixel-high but nonlinearly-mapped (read: pain in the neck) format of the hi-res screen to the linear but 8 pixels high at a time format needed for printing (read: fast but requires some work in advance) and then put the necessary graphic-mode headers on the thing and dump it to the printer. I know people have done this, but I can't think of any programs offhand. It's a nontrivial task, and one you probably don't want to write code for in BASIC. Have fun. -------------------- Jeffrey Hutzelman America Online: JeffreyH11 Internet: jh4o+@andrew.cmu.edu BITNET: JHUTZ@DRYCAS >> Apple // Forever!!! <<
