Yes. I have found that this works wonderfully. Far better than if 
Allegro was native OO, since *I* get to decide how I want things 
implemented. I eat/breathe/sleep OO (I cringe at the thought of having 
a non const-correct function) and I love allegro. Of course, it would 
be nice if someone coded a library in native OO that was identical to 
my implementation of allegro, but that would be rather inflexible 
nevermind unlikely. Keep it C!!!
