It does seem to work correectctly with WordUp most of the time, and with other
programs, _most_ of the time, but there are definitely bugs.  For example,
I've been writing a GDOS program, and with Turbo Turbojet forgets which VDI
write mode it's in whenever there isn't enough free memory in the system.
This makes italic (skewed) text letter write over each other.  I don't think
that's how it's supposed to work even when the VDI _is_ in transparent mode.
When I use other drivers, the problem goes away.  Of course, your mileage
may vary.
