I can't wait for 3.0 to come out... I might give in and just d/l the most recent WIP version, but I probably don't have time to tinker with it now that I'm on my second week back to school >:( Btw, I was actually thinking of how cool (albeit useless for most people) it would be to have functions in Allegro to control the keyboard LEDs. Imagine my excitement when I saw that, lo and behold, "Sean Gugler added a routine for changing the keyboard LED state." =) It also looks like someone =) finally gave in and put in the stuff for the left and right ctrl & alt keys. It's also great that there is some MIDI callback stuff now; I can't wait to start doing MIDI-event driven code, or maybe even the other way around (like LucasArts' IMUSE system!). I also noticed that you can now use .IBK files for the Adlib/SB FM MIDI driver (which reminds me, can you use .BNK files with it too yet? I don't remember) Later everyone! P.S. Thanx to Shawn Hargreaves and everyone else who has contributed to Allegro! I'm proud to say that I have had the opportunity to share ideas with everyone in the DJGPP community. All of you out there who ask questions and especially all of you out there who patiently answer them are what truly makes DJGPP the best compiler out there, IMHO =) ----- Ben Shadwick, Sysop, Mars Base BBS, (360)882-0773, Vancouver, WA, USA email: bshadwickATjunoDOTcom (anti-spam =) WWW: http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Pines/7376/
