With Bookshelf 1.0, loss of pixels occur during some animations only in 16 color resolution 2. With DOSKey installed, a DOS prompt problem occurs after switching from a windowed mode to full screen. Typed text cannot be seen at the command line. Workaround: Switch back to windowed and then full screen. 3. At this time, Graphics in a DOS Box is not fully implemented; for example, a distorted screen image is produced when running DOSSHELL in Graphics mode in a DOS windows box. 4. Clipboard - After saving a print screen image, horizontal lines are displayed on the Clipboard. 5. Bow & Arrow - The information, level advancement and game termination scroll panel displays a distorted image and improper color fill in all 64K modes. 6. Visual Basic 2.0 - The Introducing Visual Basic display is corrupted; extra horizontal lines can be seen. 7. Loading Xtgold in a windowed DOS, and switching to full screen erases outline borders and subdirectory connectors. 8. Computer Curriculum Corp. - Incorrect colors are displayed in the test dialog box. The box is shown as black instead of white, and the arrow is white instead of black. In addition, ribbons may not display the correct colors.
