is it possible to use a pc printer to get a program listing as i would with the old zx81 printer?

Hello oldhand, welcome aboard.

The simple answer is yes. As usual, the devil is in the detail. Would you care to elaborate on your requirements?

I am using a pc emulator, emulating a ZX81 and would like to list or Llist the program through a pc printer.
also them emulator will only list one screen a time and I then have to enter another command to kist a differant screen.
As I rmember it I could enter List 1, 1000 or List 1 To 1000 to list a full program with Newline to move onto another screen.

Many thanks for any help being very rusty at the moment as I am starting again all over.

If it's just the listing you're after, rather than just the experience of doing a listing to the printer (well people get their kicks in many ways...) then you can export the BASIC program as a text file then print it as normal. There are a number of tools available to allow this, such as ZXLIST or indeed my very own ZXTOOL which incorporates the ability to do this.

Hmm. Maybe he cares about original fonts on the listing?

I would.

Well there are font files for ZX81, that's not the problem I think.

All i wanted to do is get a full printed listing so I could edit and write on it to change program as needed, the progem zxtool only list from line 2400 and does not convert it to a text file to print a full listing. many thanks for you help also.

Hi,

zxtool lists all the program - I wonder if there is a broken byte in the program file which doesn't prevent running but will prevent listing? Some form of software protection or just a corrupt byte perhaps. I wrote zxtool so I know for sure that it doesn't start listing at arbitrary numbers

If you care to post the program I will be happy to investigate for you.

Once de-compiled then you can edit and re-compile to a P image with ZXTEXT2P.

I am running the zxtool through the CMD command should this effect it?
