ScreenDriver 2 By Brett G. Durrett Files: SCNDVR2.PRG The actual program. SCNDVR2.TXT What you're reading now. General: ScreenDriver is a program used to produce different outputs for the ALT-HELP printer dump. This program will either install a printer driver compatible with your printer, or give you the option of saving the file as a DEGAS picture. This differs from some other "snapshot" programs not not requiring you to return to the desktop to save the picture. Installing: You can run the SCNDVR2.PRG from the desktop, but I suggest you put it in your AUTO folder. When the program is run, it will first check to see if the CONTROL key is help down (if so, it will allow you to configure the output). If the CONTROL key is not depressed, it will look for *.PRT in the current directory, and load this as your printer driver. If no .PRT files exist in the current directory, it will assume you want it to create a DEGAS file instead of printing. The files are saved as SCREEN_*.PI? where * represents A-Z, and ? will correspond to the resolution the picture was saved from (0-low 1-med 2-high). Note: .PRT files are DEGAS printer drivers that can be found with most Atari downloads. There is a huge variety, and almost every printer is supported (including yours)! Important: ScreenDriver 2 will not check to see if a file exists by the name you are saving under, and will replace a file with the same name. I will change this soon, but for now remember to check for files that may get scrapped. Another quirk is the 26 file limit, which will BUG out if you exceed it (this will be fixed sometime this week also). My Compuserve # is 73637,2775 if you have comments or suggestions. I would like to thank Jim Nitchals, Tim Mensch, and especially Jim Johnson (who motivated me to write this version). Please feel free to distribute this, and please send me mail if you find yourself using ScreenDriver frequently. Updates/fixes: New file format is SCN_**.PI? where ** is from 00 to 99, and ? is still the resolution. When saving files, Screen Driver will no longer delete a file with the same name (it will save it as the next available file). This also ties into the 26 file limit, which has been expanded to 99.
