Ability to print a graphics screen on the printer
Ideally, would also have support for printout spooling under DOS. This may
be achieved via a seperate package.
This would be the ideal package. Something which met some of these
requirements might also be acceptable. I am willing to buy a package
if there are no free packages which would work.
Does anybody know of anything which might address some / all of these
requirements?
Thanks in advance,
