Oh dear, with photos from the screen. Apparently,
SBYTES mdv1_my_scr, 131072, 32768
and subsequent printing was still too difficult in 1985.

There must be a reason why screenshot programs were written later on.

This wasn't a problem for SuperBASIC, and there were already offers for programs in the December issue of "QL-USER."Peter wrote: Sun Sep 21, 2025 2:35 pmSo tell us how to run SBYTES without destroying the Easel screen!

Hi,
I used to use SDUMP that was built into the Trump Card, and could use a hotkey to dump the screen to a printer, but only worked in Mode 4/8
These days, there are better ways to dimp the screen from any screen resolution, than using SDUMP.
