The liballeg.a file was copied into my DJGPP dir, but does the lib recquire any files from the allegro dir (you can tell I'm a newbie;-)? Also, I'm starting to get sort of confused about this 32-bit stuff. I read that DJGPP produced great 32-bit executables, but it sucks with 16-bit exe's. I thought that DJGPP could ONLY produce 32-bit code!! Was I misinformed? Also, when everyone says that DJGPP's 32-bit exe's are great, does that mean just great in 32-bit OS's (unix, winNT, etc.)? Or are they also very fast under DOS with CWSDPMI?? The reason I ask is this: I own Turbo C++ v3.0, and unless DJGPP is quite a bit faster under DOS, I will opt for TC's ease of use. I wish that someone could just post some benchmarks under various operating systems to comapare DJGPP with commercial compilers. Anyway, that's about it. Thank-you all for your help, and all the help you've given me in the past:-) Jordan Ellis
