Hello,
I am now using OS 10.2.8 in my G3-mt and I have a problem. I have copies of all my applications and programs on Zip disks, and I keep printed copies handy so I know what is on each disk. When I worked in OS 9.2, I had no problem printing copies. OS 10.2.8 does not allow printing from the file menu. From a book, I have about OS X I learned about "Grab". The problem is that "Grab" allows me to print what is on the screen but usually the items on my zip disks run down below the screen and do not print. In OS, 9.2 everything on the disk will print although I can't see the items. Is there anyway to work around this?
Thanks
Cheap, relatively easy and free way to feel like a real unix know-it-all:
1) put the disk in the drive.
2) open the terminal type 'cd ' (that is type cd followed by a space.) DO NOT hit return.
3) open a finder window, and click on computer.
4) Drag the volume you want to catalog to the terminal window. The Mac will fill in the correct path to the drive. NOW hit the enter key.
5) type ls<return> in the terminal window for a listing of the files on the disk. Type ls-l for considerably more information about the files.
6) You can copy and paste the listing out of the terminal window into textedit.
7) If you want to feel *really* 1334 type 'ls -l > disklist1' This '>' redirects the output of the command 'ls -l' to a file 'disklist1' instead of the screen. You can open the file with textedit, bbedit or any other program that will open plain text files.
There are also disk catalogers that not only print nice, formatted disk labels, but also maintain searchable databasesof your disks, enabling you to find files quickly. One I use, whose name escapes me now, is on every MacAddict disk because they ship a complete disk catalog (from #1 to that issue) in that format on each disk.
