CGP220 Screen dump Drean-On-Ware from Rich Weaver

The three files included in this ARC file are as follows:

121COLOR.PRG - one-to-one dot ratio CGP220 screen dump
               gives a perfect circle from DEGAS and reproduces
               lines and text with well defined lines.  The
               resulting printout does not have the same aspect
               ratio as the screen.  This is the fastest of the
               three.

COLORGRD.PRG - Grid dithering of the colors to simulate the 512
               ATARI pallette.  The aspect ratio of the printout
               is close to that of the screen.

COLORRND.PRG - Random dithering of colors to simulate the 512
               ATART pallette.  The aspect ratio of the printout 
               is close to that of the screen.  This program does
               not produce any discernable patterns in color 
               filled areas like the previous ones.  The result is
               more like a photograph.  If the paper is accurately
               reversed to the starting position (a very difficult
               task) and the screen is printed again, the dots will 
               not necessarily overprint and a better picture will 
               result.  This is not a good screen dump for the 
               desktop or text.  It is also the slowest of the 
               three because each dot requires a call to the random 
               number generator but for pictures, it cannot be beat.

CGP220.TXT -   This file as if you didn't already know.

Put your favorite in the AUTO folder and reboot.  Press Alt-Help to
print.

These are supposed to work in all resolutions but I don't have a
mono monitor so I was not able to test that mode.  This is a color 
dump anyway.  Use your Epson compatable for mono if it doesn't work.

Did you know that you can get your CGP220 to overprint easily? (BOLD)
Simply send ESC 31 - decimal number or 1B 1F HEX to the printer from
BASIC or a small program in any language.  To stop it, send ESC space
or 1B 20 HEX.

I have a way to dump the printer codes to a file used in another screen 
dump and if enough people are interested, I could do it for these 
also.  That way, many copies of the screen could be produced in much
less time.  Let me know and maybe spread some $$$ my way.  This is
what I call Dream-On-Ware (I'll keep dreaming about the money, Ha Ha).

Use EMAIL - RWEAVER or send anything ($, requests, PD software, 
ShareWare, etc.) to:

No reasonable offer refused.  But can you or I define reasonable?
I like 5 but more will not be refused and If you choose 0 as a 
reasonable offer, may your mind haunt you for the rest of your life. 
Oh well, I'll Dream on!

I also have a color Mandelbrot program for any interested party.

Distribute the unmodified ARC file freely and happy color printing.
