OT: VMware and Parallels

[Joe Lewis Wilkins]

Hi Mark,

The problems I reported a couple of days ago with "not appearing"  
text for a program running WindowsXP was under VMWare's Fusion as I  
mentioned. Perhaps the problems will disappear if/when I'm able to  
test the program on a real PC Box. This program was compiled using  
Rev 2.8.1. Have you been noting similar text problems with your  
experiments? Otherwise, my program ran just fine.
