Sorry about my stupid question but i would like to buy Alaska
and many things are not clear for me.
The most important for me in this time is "how to print with Alaska".
I dont't know anything about a possibility to print with truetype
like windows or again like in old clipper with prow(), pcol()

please be so kind and give an information.

thanks, marcel

You can both methods, this allow you to reuse your old print code while 
writting the new graphic printing code.

With Xbase++ you can do it 2 ways the old Clipper way and via the windows 
print spooler.

You can always download the free trial off Alaska's website and have a look 
at the examples.  They may answer a lot of your questions. You can also look 
at Phils site (http://www.idep.org.uk/xbase/) which has lots of solutions.

And of course you can always ask here.  Over the years I've found the help 
available extremely useful.

Particularly if you are moving from Clipper, I think you will save a lot 
of time by using Clayton's TopDown library. I converted all of one 
program's reports from Clipper's @ row, col say, etc to nice looking 
Windows reports in an afternoon.

I would agree with Garry - by using TopDown you can convert a console 
based application to full GUI with a very tolerable learning curve.  The 
TD library has very well documented code examples and help file and will 
have you up and productive is a very short time (took me one week to 
produce my first GUI from Clipper - and I am not a wiz programmer by 
any stretch of the imagination!).
