I just set up Allegro on my system, and now I have a question:  Can I go
ahead and delete the directory (and files) that I unzipped allegro into? 
The liballeg.a file was copied into my DJGPP dir, but does the lib
recquire any files from the allegro dir (you can tell I'm a newbie;-)?
Also, I'm starting to get sort of confused about this 32-bit stuff.  I
read that DJGPP produced great 32-bit executables, but it sucks with
16-bit exe's.  I thought that DJGPP could ONLY produce 32-bit code!! 
Was I misinformed?  Also, when everyone says that DJGPP's 32-bit exe's
are great, does that mean just great in 32-bit OS's (unix, winNT, etc.)?
Or are they also very fast under DOS with CWSDPMI??  The reason I ask is
this:  I own Turbo C++ v3.0, and unless DJGPP is quite a bit faster
under DOS, I will opt for TC's ease of use.  I wish that someone could
just post some benchmarks under various operating systems to comapare
DJGPP with commercial compilers.  Anyway, that's about it.  Thank-you
all for your help, and all the help you've given me in the past:-)
