Bob Palowoda asked:
 Is there a program to do a print screen (with the print screen key)
 for Xenix?

And the answer is:  yes, if you mean the console.  Aside from using
the screen printing capability of SCO Multiview, there is also a
little "screengrabber" utility from Driver Design Labs (Vancouver BC)
which will do the job.

If you are on a linemode terminal, it's a bit of a problem since the
"screen", as such, does not exist unless you are using multiview or
some similar kind of windowing package.

Some kinds of terminals have the ability to copy the screen to
a local memory though, and can be programmed to capture that
image onto a local printer, via an escape sequence processed
by the terminal.
