I just started using DJGPP and Allegro only around a few weeks ago and 
was quite impressed by all the examples...
I am now trying to build a GUI look-a-like software using DJGPP and 
Allegro 3.12 for monitoring the status of a DC Motor... the problem is 
that I am not very sure how to create small boxes with number which 
change in accordance to the values in some other variables... I was 
hoping that someone more experience might be able to help me out....

so far I managed to get the pull down menus and fixed text to appear at 
locations but how do you create text which changes as the varible (text 
string or numbers) with a box around it?

thanks!
