Microsoft FoxPro for Macintosh, version 2.6a

SYMPTOMS

When the opaque style is specified for the display of a bitmap file, the background of the bitmap matches the background color of the current output window, instead of the white background color in the bitmap file.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Visual FoxPro 3.0b for Macintosh.
