- On PCjr there is enough less memory remaining out of its 128K that LadyBug
- barely fits and large procedures will not fit. In tests, for example, the
- RAILS procedure would not load. Since the PCjr tests, some slack has been
- squeezed out of LadyBug but it still is tight. Version 1.1 of LadyBug
- will certainly run better on PCjr.
-
-
- If you lie and tell LadyBug that you have a Monochrome display in addition
- to your graphics display, LB will run, but all text will be in 80 column
- mode and TEXTCOLUMNS has no effect. the editor will not display anything.
-
-
- Remember that the Monochrome Display referred to is the IBM Monochrome
- Display and not simply a non-color graphics screen.

- Problems
- --------
-
- When WRAP is on and a figure draws through a corner some lines get messed
- up. For example, try:
-
- penup setxy 250 150 pendown
- poly 150 170
-
- WRAP works in most cases you will ever encounter. (There is no schedule
- for a correction for this problem).
-
-
- If you type a command which exceeds 40 columns in graphics mode, the screen
- scrolls up. (There is no schedule for a correction for this problem.)
-
-
- The extended character set (those characters above ASCII 127) has problems
- when you have both the IBM MONOCHROME display as well as the graphics
- display. To use the characters on the graphics display, switch to the
- graphics display while still in DOS (use the MODE COLOR command) and THEN
- start up LadyBug. (There is no schedule for a correction for this problem.)
