oh shoot! sorry i used the term "narrowminded". i didn't mean it to be a
critical post at all.

yes, you've got oodles of stuff in there that i'll NEVER use
(joyhat??!!), but you seem to have hit on a nice logical way of coding
the stuff i will use, besides handling the strange stuff appropriate to
the different video cards (everybody i code for has a different card!!).

i'm addressing this to Shawn, but i hope all you other folks that
contributed to Allegro will also accept a portion of my appreciation.
thank you!
