I have just started to attempt to program using the allegro libraries and
visual c++ 4.0.  Here is the program:

#include <allegro.h>

int main()
{
 allegro_init();
 install_keyboard();
 set_gfx_mode(GFX_VGA,320,200,0,0);
 textout_centre(screen,font,"Ready. Beep.",160,100,255);
 readkey();
 return 0;
}

and below is the very long error message I received.  I got the same error
using djgpp as well.  Is there any way to fix this?  It seems like there are
lots of syntax errors within the library files themselves.  Is it just that
the library files are in 'C' and the code is 'C++' of am I way off the mark?

Compiling...
