Well, I have finally gotten allegro to work now (for the most part) through
Rhide.  I'm still having some difficulties though (such as calls to
allegro_message() do not work at all {they say that it's an implicit
declaration of the function, etc.} and set_gfx_mode(gfx_safe) says that
gfx_safe was undeclared and 1st used in the main function).  However, the
main problem I'm having is this:  when compiling (then running) various
other allegro programs found on the net, I am getting fatal .vxd errors that
I don't understand.  It says fatal exception in OE... numbers and that it
was in the vxd.  Why would allegro do this, and most importantly, how can I
prevent this from happening?  Whenever it happens, my computer completely
freezes.  It's not my computer's fault either (something with allegro or all
8 of the programs that I've downloaded)... I have a 1GHZ AMD Athlon w/ 128
mb memory and a 16MB Nvidia TNT2 Graphics card... incompatible with allegro
or something?  I have had one program that works that used allegro, and it
was precompiled.  Has anyone else experienced this before, and if so then am
I just a complete idiot who's doing something incredibly wrong, or what's
happening?  Thanks for your time and help (ahead of time).
