Today I visited Reiter's Technical Book Store in DC and
took a look at all the known Delphi 4 books at one time.

I looked up how to print a bitmap in each of the books.

Here's what I found:

Teach Yourself Delphi 4 in 21 Days
p. 565 says to use Draw or StretchDraw

Delphi 4 Bible
p. 557 says to use Draw
p. 558-559 says to use StretchDraw

Mastering Delphi 4
p. 982 says to use StretchDraw

Delphi 4 Developer's Guide
This info's on the CD.  But the index shows StetchDraw and
"bitmap, printing" on the same page:  CD:158 -- StretchDIBits
wasn't in the index.

SO, the next time anyone is {*word*156} anyone for not knowing
StretchDIBits is needed to print a bitmap successfully on
many printers, we should remember to go easy on them.

Why are all the authors getting this wrong?
