LADYBUG STATUS
This version is still a baby. All of the function described in
the manual is present and all (most?) has been executed and found
to work. Some parts have been used fairly heavily. The author
has a wall full of pictures which came out of LadyBug at various
times over the last few months. However, glitches still lurk
hidden in unused paths.
Please let me know what you think of LadyBug, especially:
1. What features are missing that are really needed;
2. What doesn't work;
3. What is wrong with the manual; and
4. What is not clear in the manual.
Plans for the near future include:
1. An index for the manual;
2. Spell check the manual;
3. (Possibly) list processing primitives.
The author will be happy to include in future releases any
procedures that someone sends. Be sure to say that the
procedures are for distribution. Your name will be included on
them and with the description in the manual unless you say not
to.

KNOWN BUGS AND RESTRICTIONS
Procedures that OUTPUT values
There is a severe bug which prevents proper invocation of
procedures inside of expressions.
WRAP and NOWRAP.
Not yet implemented.
CLIP bugs
Sometimes CLIP does not properly calcualate the intersection
of a line with the edge of the screen. The position of the
lady bug is correct but the line going off of the screen may
be misdrawn.
MONOCHROME support
The monochrome display is only supported by the editor.
Text mode
Text mode is not yet supported. Text mode commands are
either ignored or output data into a single line at the
bottom of the screen.
