	I have the following codes to draw a text string in a picture.

	character*255 linebuf
	integer*4 firstchar,lastchar
	data firstchar,lastchar/4,10/
	linebuf='abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
	call toolbx (MOVETO,3,100)
	call toolbx (DRAWCHAR,linebuf,firstchar,lastchar)
	pause 'CR return'
	end

	This is taken from a sample given in MacFortran.  However, we all
know how buggy MacFortran is, it even would not work on its own sample.
	Can anyone tell me how to get around this problem?

	Even the 'DRAWTEXT' does not put anything in either the picture or
screen, it did affect the normal Fortran text strings after the call.
