256	256	Legacy code forms normally used fixed X,Y positions. It is often simpler and easier to maintain to just advance the positions. There are cases such as two column menus where at some point between FORM_ADD_BUTTON2 lines the rect position is reset to start the second column.

258		Some apps, especially older ones may use lib825 instead of the newer lib825ev. In addition to CForm (FORM_INIT) a different method of creating forms exists in the older lib825 called !DynamicForm. These apps may also use a C++ class called the Application class. To update apps using lib825 to new style graphics it would be best to convert the app to ~~use lib825ev (event style) apps~~ first. Depending on the size of the app this could be a much more involved process.

260	260	Apps using lib825 or lib825ev may also use FormLCD which defines forms based on structs. It is relatively simple to convert these apps to CForm (FORM_INIT) style, but will still take more time. Refer to the example below:
