Hello,
I'm getting an interesting error in Allegro. I'm trying to call
Allegro functions (textout, text_length, etc.) with pointers to
variables in GUI dialogs as some of the arguments. The variables in
the dialogs are of different types than the types specified in the
function prototypes. The error messages are something like: "no
matching function call to 'textout(BITMAP *&, FONT *&, void *&, int &,
int &, int &)"
I don't understand what I have to do to correct this, type conversion
or something else?
Please help,
	Ryan Twitchell
