------------
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.)
