// History - 10/3/97 Fixed scrolling bug.
//                   Added print support. - KR
//
//           11/3/99 Fixed most common complaint. Added
//                   background color fill. - KR

//           11/3/99 Added support for mapping modes other than

// This class implements a memory Device Context which allows
