Hi Phoebus, oh yes it was ! (AKA I beg to differ !)
It started (?) in DOS where the print-scn button printed the text on screen to a printer (not sure if it was able to be redirected to a file though) in text mode. In Windows (3.1 anyway) this was changed to copy the screen, or active window to the clipboard as a bit map. Under XP this has been removed - although Tony says that it works if the shift key is held down. Cheers, Norman. PS. Just had two weeks in Crete - very hot 42 degrees (C). ------------------------------------- Norman Dunbar Database/Unix administrator Lynx Financial Systems Ltd. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: 0113 289 6265 Fax: 0113 289 3146 URL: http://www.Lynx-FS.com ------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: Phoebus Dokos [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 21, 2003 2:04 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [ql-users] Converting Word to JPEG or GIF(slightly OT) On Mon, 21 Jul 2003 09:23:07 +0100, Norman Dunbar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > But if you are running XP then the print-scn button no longer works - > microsoft don't want any DOS backwards compatability in XP !
