View Ref-File4.10.1  Prtblk                                                     TOS

 Name:         »Print screen dump« - Hardcopy print-out

 Opcode:       36

 Syntax:       void Prtblk( PBDEF *par );

 Description:  The XBIOS routine Prtblk prints out a given segment of 
               the memory. The pointer par serves to describe the 
               structure of the screen build-up.

               The print process can be terminated with the key 
               combination Alternate/Help.

               Note: Before calling this function the system variable 
               prt_cnt should be set to 1 to make anything at all 
               happen. After return of the function the variable 
               should be set back to -1.

               Warning: As of MagiC 3, this function is only present 
               as a dummy routine; possibly the desired functionality 
               may be restored by an external program.

 Return value: The function returns 0 if the printout was successful, 
               otherwise a non-zero value.

 Availability: All TOS versions.

 Gruppe:       Printer functions
