 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.
