Larry,

This description of the problem is different from what I am =
experiencing.  I do not get any sort of error message at all (I am using =
Win 98SE).  Just tried another map to be sure exactly what printed and =
what didn't.  I got the textual info for "Station" and "Event", but =
nothing for the cursor coordinates.  The stuff that showed up included =
the category headers and all data items correctly.  No header or =
parameters for the cursor info.  Also, the stuff that printed showed up =
in the top left corner of the page, and did not leave any room for the =
missing cursor coordinates data.  Apart from what did print, the page =
was blank.  I had the default scaling for the full globe selected for =
display at the time I attempted the print.

Hope this helps.  This glitch may fall in the "interesting" category.

Larry Conklin

    Larry and others with the problem,

    Is it just the map page that is not printing correctly?

  Yes, I also have that problem currently, and it appeared with your =
previous version of Winquake and my previous win 95 system with a HP =
deskjet 500c printer. I still see the problem with win 98 on my new =
pentium computer and a new HP deskjet 932c printer, so it seems to be =
independant of hardware or of operating system.=20

  When I try to print I get a box that says-=20

  "Winq32=20
  An error has occurred in your program. To keep working anyway, click =
[Ignore] and save your work in a new file. To quit this program, click =
[Close]. You will lose information youentered since your last save."=20

  When I clicked [Close] I got a box that said-=20

  "Winqck32=20
  Illegal operation and shutdown,"=20

  which I presume is a general protection fault. If I don't print, but =
try to save the map file I get the message- "Error making GIF image. =
Error: Unsupported bits/pixel =3D 24."

  I hope that this helps with your troubleshooting.
