txtpth03.cgm ATA test suite issue

[Forrest Carpenter <forrest@sdicgm.com>]

All,

In testing some of our new software with the ATA test suite, I ran across
a 
file that I am not sure the gif image is correct. In the WebCGM test
suite 
this file is not included. In the WebCGM test suite the txtpth03.cgm is
the
same as txtpth02.cgm except for the name in the title block.
(was this intentionally?)

This file has vdc extent defined as (1000,1000) (0,0) so according to
page 24 and
25 of the 1999 version of the standard, a text path of down would be
toward
the toward the top of the page. Our software displays the word
down going toward
the top of the page and the gif image has the word down going
toward the bottom
of the page. 

Anyone else have any opinions about this file?

Thanks
Forrest
