Has anyone found the following bugs with Graphic Workshop 4.x:
	a) Most hi-res GIF pictures can't be viewed.
		- most 256 color graphics beyond 300x200
	b) Most WordPerfect graphics
		- all the files from the original WordPerfect 5.1 disks

The program either states not enough memory or sometimes shows a blank screen.
I have switched the settings to virtual, expanded and external with no results.
I know I have a lot of memory.  I've 2Megs and tested the program with hardly
any device drivers and TSRs.  The blank screen ones have been verified to be
viewable with VUIMG.  I am running an AST Premium 286 Model 140 w/2megs of RAM
and a ATI VGAWonder 512.  Can someone help me with this problem?

 "A pig ate his fill of acorns under an oak tree and then started to root
   around the tree.  A crow remarked, `You should not do this.  If you lay bare
   the roots, the tree will wither and die.' `Let it die,' said the pig.  `Who
   cares so long as there are acorns?'"	-"Animal Farm" by George Orwell
