Hi, 

   I'm working on a big map editor written with DJGPP/Allegro. You can 
check out the rather convoluted code at (http://ludus.res.cmu.edu/).

   Feel free to play around with it, but since it implements lots more 
than just a map editor (scripting language, windowing library), and does 
so rather badly, it might be hard to understand. In any case, it should 
compile out of the box with DJGPP/Allegro (read the COMPILING file), is 
sparesely documented, and should give you at least a place to start. And 
if you can understand the whole thing, then you will know how to make a 
map editor. =)
