Hi,

First I would just like to thank Peter, Stefan and Bjorn...for 

helping me out with regards to loading BMP's.
I never expected such a quick response, and from so many people!

What you guys are telling me is to get ALLEGRO, which basically takes 

the 'donkey-work' out of developing your progs.  Thing is though, I 

had already downloaded alleg from one of Shawn Hargreave's 

recommended sites, but to my utter dismay, couldn't get it to work!

As far as I can see, I have installed DJGPP correctly, with it's 

working environment settings in AUTOEXEC.BAT etc.  Alleg, came in one 

Alleg30.zip file, which I also unzipped in Dj's directory.  But when 

I use any of alleg's functions, it complains bitterly, that it can't 

find this and that!!  It seems to me (after much hair-pulling/ 

chain-smoking investigations!!) that I am missing the LIBALLEG.A 

file.
So I donwloaded it again from a reputable site, and it wasn't in the 

zip either!  If some kind person, could PLEASE send me this file (or 

tell me where to find it), I would be forever grateful!!

Once again, thanx for your time.
It's nice to know there are nice folk out there, who don't mind 

sharing their knowledge with us dazed & confused newbies!

Regards,
J. de Villiers                EMAIL:  devilj AT hotmail DOT com
