By default, the Atari uses 1280, not 960, as the # of dots per line for a
screen dump to a printer. This can be overridden by using the CONTROL.ACC
settings but it requires having to have CONTROL.ACC resident.
I want to use my Personal Pascal to write a short code to put in my auto folder
to set the printer to 960 dots. I will have to use the following function:
FUNCTION setprt (config : Short_Integer) : Short_Integer ;
XBIOS(33);
Because of incredible stupidity or something that has changed between version
1 and 2 of OSS Pascal, I have been unable to make a compilable code doing
this one very simple function. I would dearly love it if someone could post
a source for this rather trivial program. As I posted on the net before, I
a more a user than a programmer and I feel foolish having to ask for help for
such a simple matter. However, after hours of error messages, I am not too
proud to ask for help.
