Martin, I don't think the problem is that you're too
stupid. Rather, the problem is that you are violating
the first cardinal rule when asking for help in this
(and most other) newsgroups: POST COMPILABLE CODE.
That means that we must be able to cut and paste what
you provide and compile it ourselves without changes.
We can't do that with what you provide. The second
cardinal rule is make sure that the compilable code
you provide is short - no more than 50 lines is a good
rule of thumb. Here you provide an "extraction" -
that's good - but it must be a self-contained
extraction that we can compile. If we can't recreate
your problem, we can't help you.
By the way, what the heck is "fix"? Is that a class
defined in allegro? And are you coding in C or in
C++? It looks like some sort of hybrid.
Good luck.
Best regards,
Tom
