	Yes! I think it would be a good idea. This would make allegro more
complete. But I think that DOS is unbeatable, but this would make allegro
more compatible also. I think also that it would be best that the DIRECTX
routines come together with Allegro.
	I aprofit and I would like say that Allegro is very very good! And it
would be nice that the 3d functions be in assembly code and fast, also with
a mesh editor. But I know that it is hard to implement and I am not a good
programer to contribute on this.

P.D.: Sorry for my very bad English.
