I'm talking about dpi-awareness, or rather the lack of it. This causes
your software to display fuzzy text on many machines. You will be able
to fix the fuzzy text problem without requiring end user action if you
add a suitable dpi-aware section to your manifest. That will still
leave another different problem on a few machines though because your
app is not actually dpi-aware (apart from the "partial dpi-awareness"
that all non resizable VB6 Forms have), although the number of
machines affected by the second problem will be few, unless some of
your Forms are larger than the few I had had a look at.

By the way, I apologise if this message ends up appearing multiple
times. I'm having some problems with eternal-september at the moment
and so I am sending this using Google Groups.
