Hello,
I've been using WinAllegro and RSXNTDJ to convert some programs to Win32.

Now I've had a couple of problems with a few of the functions, I wrote a
message to who I thought was the guy in charge of the project, but havn't
recieved a response (It probably never got there).

The three functions that cause problems are:
rectfill,
line,
clear_to_colour,

The all make the program crash, with an "application recieved message
SIGSEGV" at 0x0000000B.
Why it does this I don't know, as far as I know I'm calling them alright
(rectfill and line draw to my BITMAP buffer).  I will try to just make a
little program with these functions in it, and if you want to see what
happens I will post the code and an EXE (Will total about 50k).

I know WinAllegro hasn't been tested that much, and I'd like to help out
wherever I can.
I'm using the latest version 3.0 WIP 5 I believe, so far everything works
apart from these, I can draw circles and triangles with no problem.

Also, just something odd I found in RHIDE, I don't know if it's fixed in
1.4.5 or 1.4.6 or whatever but when I compile and link a program, about 5
seconds before it finishes linking the mouse cursor vanishes, and only comes
back if I restart the program (I run it in a DOS box), it doesn't hurt
anything, since my project is auto-saved when compiled/linked I just hit the
hotkey sequence to quit, F3 to put the command back on the command line, and
back into RHIDE I go :-)
I am using the RSXNTDJ package on top of DJGPP and RHIDE, using the modified
ld.exe (which I assume is causing the problem).  If it has been fixed in a
newer version, please disregard this section.

Cya's,
