SYMPTOMS
========
On a computer running Windows NT 4.0, when you use an application that creates
arcs and then try to print, some of the arcs will print incorrectly, curving
left to right instead of right to left, or vice versa. This problem will be seen
on PCL printers, but non-PCL printers will print properly.
CAUSE
=====
When using SetArcDirection, the call is not interpreted properly by the GDI when
printing to a PCL printer.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 4.0. This
problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 U.S. Service Pack.
