  you get from both food and supplements.

KNOWN BUGS
----------

1) On 1 IBM Think pad laptop, some floating point calculations are
   incorrect.  A tomato, of 25 calories, when divided by 3 (i.e. quantity 
   changed to .3) will have 0 calories.  This has only been seen on 1 
   machine so far. This bug could not be reproduced on any other machines,
   with or without math co-processors installed.

2) The colors selected for meals via the color selection box may not match
   exactly the color that will be displayed by the food when it is listed.

3) Some graphs do not redraw properly after a window has been removed that
   has covered them up.  Use the redraw button to fix this for now.

4) The PIE graph of daily caloric makeup can sometimes produce values with
   invalid precision.  For example 45.00003 %.  This can be ignored.

5) The Print Preview screen updates (beats) with the frequency of the 
   cholesterol alarm heart beat.
