George, I'm not sureI follow you on the "capture the graph screen to print or a disk file" (?). Just the other day I adjusted a few things in Access! so that it more directly supports "Morerows" so that you can achieve a 24 line (actually I have a 25 line one) screen w/o losing the gadget-bars. Thanks for the suggestions… – Keith

Keith, what I meant by "capturing the graphics screen…" is screen print. I'd like to be able to hit a key to transfer the Access! screen to a disk file (possibly in IFF format) or to the printer. The screen print program on the Amiga Extras disk is in adequate as it transfers the screen so slowly that incoming data messes up the screen print. My suggestion was to make a copy of the screen in memory and then save it to disk or printer. Maybe the program SAVEIFF in LIB16 (?) will do this the save to disk function? Will Morerows work with Access! Ver 1.30A or have you got another version in the pipeline? Geo

George, Although it might not be what you are talking about, Access! does have a "Review Buffer" that stores the last 'x' num@of lines (user-setable) and the buffer can be saved to disk at any time as an ASCII text file. Ver 1.3a does not work correctly with Morerowed screens… I just fixed it the other day and so the 'next' version (whenever that is) will support it. I'm currently doing other work, so I just get a few minutes here and there to work on Access! (the morerows support took about 10 mins. 🙂 – Keith
