OK. This is another file that uses umpteen BitBlt operations to set the color of rectangular areas. It will not work properly in Inkscape as those are intrinsically raster paint operations. Use Metafile Explorer to step through it and you will see that it does 3 bitblt's per graph bar. Note also that this example does not render the same in Metafile Explorer as it does in XP Preview, having a dither like pattern in the former, and solid bars in the latter.

On the plus side, this one does have EMF+ records, and those are simple - just rectangular draws with RGBA colors. So if I ever finish the EMF+ implementation the file should read in more cleanly that way. (They ditched the bitblt nonsense in EMF+.)
