Zortech DOES have text in graphics mode

 I want to retract something I said in a posting from
 yesterday, in which I complained that the Zortech 2.0 C++
 compiler had no way of outputting text in graphics mode.


 Zortech DOES have text in graphics mode.  They have 
 two Flash Graphics calls: fg_putc and fg_puts for this
 purpose.  

 I have no idea why I couldn't see these in the manual,
 but then, I feel a little better because the tech 
 support person didn't see them either. 

 BTW, all the senior techies from Zortech were at a trade
 show last week and they left the place in the hands of
 some rather new people.  The fellow I was dealing with
 tried to be helpful but he was clearly in over his head
 on many of the questions I asked him, so when he said that
 Zortech had no way to output text in graphics mode I should
 have listened to my intuition and verified this with someone 
 more senior before posting to Usenet.  I apologize for any
 harm this might have done to Zortech's reputation.
