Re: OFF TOPICS: Printing windows help file

I know I had bookmarked something like this, shareware or a
commercial program with a demo version. It was supposed to offer
great versatility in controlling *any* printing from WIN, such as
demarcating just a selected portion of webpage(s) for sending to
the printer. It could shrink the printed section to a desired
size, or give you multiple small (but still identifiable) page
images on a single page. It handled HTML and most likely the WIN
Help files. (I rarely run Windows, but this sounded very
useful.) Now, in attempting to track down that bookmark, I find
the two most promising candidates are returning 404 "site not
found on this server" errors. That is a great annoyance of our
internet age: we have this previously unparalleled resource, but
companies routinely go out of business on us, or move with no
forwarding URL, or get acquired by faceless uncaring
conglomerates who promptly discontinue the products they have
just bought up. What can you do ?

Anyway, I will keep on looking, and let you know if something
turns up.
