Hullo,
	I've been using Allegro with a fair amount of success, and wanted to
make a PGN file reader (it has to do with chess files). I started to
make dialouges, and was able to use things like boxes and text, but
once I started to try out push buttons, DJGPP crashed! It's quite
frustrating because I can't see any difference between my code and the
example's, and that compiled correctly. Here is some of the code for
it so far, and this crashes pointing to the function  do_dialog. 

#include <nick/allegro.h>

int next_proc(int msg, DIALOG *d, int c);
int back_proc(int msg, DIALOG *d, int c);


DIALOG main_dlg[] =
{
   { d_clear_proc, 0, 0, 0, 0, 255, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, NULL },
   { d_ctext_proc, 320, 4, 1, 1, 255, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, "PGN File Reader,
Version 1.0" },
   { d_ctext_proc, 320,  20, 1, 1, 255, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, "By Nicholas
Marrone, 1996" },
   { d_box_proc, 20, 50, 360, 360, 255, 0,  0,  0, 0, 0, NULL },
   { d_list_proc, 450, 50, 120, 330, 255, 0,  0,  0, 0, 0, NULL },
   { next_proc, 450, 340, 50, 20, 255, 0, 0, 0,  0, 0, "Next" },
   { back_proc, 450, 340, 50, 20, 255, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, "Back" },   
   { NULL }
};


void main()
{
   int c;

   allegro_init();
   install_keyboard();
   install_mouse();
   install_timer();

   if (set_gfx_mode(GFX_AUTODETECT, 640, 480, 0, 0) != 0) {
      allegro_exit();
      printf("Error setting graphics mode\n%s\n\n", allegro_error);
      exit(1);
   }
   
   gui_fg_color = 255;
   gui_bg_color = 16;
   set_pallete(desktop_pallete);
   
   do_dialog(main_dlg, -1);

   allegro_exit();

   exit(0);
}

int next_proc(int msg, DIALOG *d, int c)
{
   int ret = d_button_proc(msg, d, c);

   if (ret == D_CLOSE) {
      alert("You have selected Next", NULL, NULL, "Continue", NULL,
27, NULL);
      return D_REDRAW;
   }

   return ret;
}

int back_proc(int msg, DIALOG *d, int c)
{
   int ret = d_button_proc(msg, d, c);

   if (ret == D_CLOSE) {
      alert("You have selected Back", NULL, NULL, "Continue", NULL,
'C', NULL);
      return D_REDRAW;
   }

   return ret;
}
