I agree totally, Allegro is the single best all-in-one linrary for
development of any sort of program. At the moment I am toying with a bit
of code to turn my 386 ito a PID robot controller by using the allegro
mouse handling routines for position feedback.

Seriously, I think we should take some time to thank Shawn Hargreaves for
developing such a versatile programming aid.
