LOGO-L> MSWLogo and ATI Rage Video Cards

[George Mills <mills@softronix.com>]

Several folks have sent me email over the past year or
so stating that MSWLogo was not drawing correctly.
Most of those folks (if not all) were using ATI Rage based
video cards.

I have confirmed the problem is with the Video Card's
Video drivers and have forwarded a test program to ATI
and they have fixed the problem.

The fix will be available in the release of there next
version of drivers for Rage based cards.

If you had the problem it was pretty obvious and the bug
was pretty serious IMHO (it could not draw into a memory
based bitmap larger than the screen setting when in 8-bit
or 16bit color modes with Video Card optimizations enabled).

I don't know if this problem exists in some of their other
cards, but the problem is obvious and will probably be fixed
in all drivers that have the problem.
