The Screen-Print and Screen-Save Utilities by Steve Cribbs Atomic Energy of Canada Limited Pinawa, Manitoba R0E 1L0 This submission consists of two VWS VAXstation specific programs that make use of the mouse-controlled copy and paste functions. These programs are intended for use only by a user logged in through the VAXstation's windowing interface - don't run them from a terminal. Text file MOUSE_COPY_PASTE.TXT provides a brief explanation of the new VWS mouse features. The Screen-Print program enables users to print a snap-shot of the visible text in any of the windows on their screen. This is similar functionality to that provided by the [Print Screen] key on a DEC VT-200 or VT-300 series terminal which writes to a printer connected directly to the terminal. Screen-Print offers several extended capabilities. With this program, users may route the text snap-shot to any print queue defined for their VAXstation. The text sent to the printer may be part or all of the text visible within a window. Users may also take advantage of any of the VMS PRINT command options - such as specifying a particular output format (eg. /form=LETP1). Several copies of Screen- Print may be running at the same time providing access to multiple print queues and/or various output formats. Screen-Save offers the capability of capturing the text contents of a workstation window into a file. Part or all of the window's text may be written out. The contents of several windows may be combined in a single file. By default, the output file is created in the current directory and is named SCREEN_SAVE.TXT. Users may over-ride that file specification. These two programs are intended as "handy gadgets" that the VAXstation user may call up quickly as a need for them arises. Once you have logged in initially, by responding to the VMS' Username and password prompts, new processes for the same account can be quickly begun. Simply select the "Create new VT220 window" option from the main menu and type either command SPRINT[Return] or SSAVE[Return] when the new window appears. Through this method, Screen-Print and/or Screen- Save may run along with your regular work sessions. They have been designed to automatically shrink to icon size as they start up and then can be conveniently nudged to an unused corner of the screen or pushed into the background. A simple mouse selection action recalls the programs for use when needed. Remember, these utilities are only available to people logged in through the VAXstation's windowing monitor. A more detailed description of operation and optional features is presented on your screen when the programs are started with the following commands: SPRINT HELP[Return] and SSAVE HELP[Return]
