sorry, when I mentioned libs I meant ones that are legal for use.
ie the Allegro library.
Personally, I've given up writing my own libs for some stuff just because
does the same stuff that people's libs do anyways, so why not use a lib
that has a wide user base, making it easier to get help with bugs etc?
i didn't mean to advocate stealing software.
