Re: Free Surfcam 2D, just got it!

This route is much simpler, and works for me everytime...
Highlight all the code in the editor(being careful not to go outside
of the editor box) and instead of printing to file, just right click
on the highlighted text and copy it. the 1000 line copy message
doesnt appear when i do it this way. Then all I do is paste it into
a new text file renamed to the extention that I need.
And I ve copied up to 14000 line code this way before with no
problems.
