Absolutely. If you use only the standard ANSI C functions, or routines
from a library which exists on both platforms, your program will port
without any trouble.

>(do those port exist?) 

Here comes the stumbling block :-) The native linux compiler is gcc, so
that is no problem, but there is no Linux version of Allegro. It is
being worked on, but is many months (minimum) away from completion...
