Pages 322 and 323 of the Microsoft QuickC "C for Yourself" reference
incorrectly states the order of the parameters for _pg_chartms() and
_pg_chartscatterms().

The variables "n" and "nseries" are not in their correct order for the
_pg_chartms() and _pg_chartscatterms() functions to properly plot the
data values. The two variables, "n" and "nseries", must be switched
for the functions to work correctly.

The correct documentation for _pg_chartms() and _pg_chartscatterms() can
be found in the on-line help for QuickC and QuickC with QuickAssembler
integrated environment, and on Pages 144 and 145 of the "Microsoft
QuickC Graphics Library Reference" manual.

The incorrect functions are as follows:

   _pg_chartms (chartenv far *env, char * far *categories,
                float far *values, short n, short nseries,
                short arraydim, char far *serieslabels);

   _pg_chartscatterms (chartenv far *env, float far *valuesx,
                       float far *valuesy, short n, short nseries,
                       short arraydim, char * far *serieslabels);

The correct parameters should read as follows:

   _pg_chartms (chartenv far *env, char * far *categories,
                float far *values, short nseries, short n,
                short arraydim, char far *serieslabels);

   _pg_chartscatterms (chartenv far *env, float far *valuesx,
                       float far *valuesy, short nseries, short n,
                       short arraydim, char * far *serieslabels);
