I am writing an RTF generator that deals with bitmaps.  When Word 97
reads bitmap data in RTF, it ignores the scaling tags, so I draw the
bitmaps in a Win3.1 metafile.  I know enhanced metafiles exist but the
documentation says use old style.

It all works fine except on 1 machine and I can't work out why.  The
canvas mapping modes, dots-per-inch, even screen resolution are the same
as my development machine.  My best guess is that my machine is Win95
and the problem is on WinNT.

Has anybody had trouble with old-style metafiles in NT?
