Heh.  Allegro was designed specifically for DJGPP (freeware), so porting
it to Borland (commercial) is somewhat counter-intuitive, no?  Besides,
Borland already has a set of graphics tools and libraries, AFAIK.

If you really do want to port Allegro to Borland, then I imagine you'll
have to contact Shawn Hargreaves and see if it is even possible, given
Allegro and/or Borland's licensing restrictions.  If it is, then you'll
probably need to contribute most of the work yourself, as Shawn is quite
busy these days improving Allegro for DJGPP.
