Well, I released a small addon to BGui (see my page for more info on that paticular library) a few weeks ago called BWinSys. Now, I finally have realized that I forgot to announce it :-) So here it goes: BWinSys is a library that allows you to have multiple allegro dialogs open simulntaniously, each in it's own window. It contains window objects that look like both the built in Allegro controls and the BGui windows 95 style controls. Setting up a windowing system couldn't be simpler: You simply create a new dialog, for example my_winsys, containing all of your windows. You then put a pointer to the dialog the window will contain in it's dp (or dp2.. I forget.. Look at the example :-). Then call do_dialog(my_winsys, 0);. It's that simple. No modifications to Allegro. No modifications to BGui. Very few Gotchas (small one with background window drawing, but avoidable for the carefull programmer).. Go check it out and let me know what you think! It's on the accessable from the "C" section of my site, which can be found on the main page linked to in the footer. Thanks in advance for the feedback you will give me! -- Dan Huizenga Email: Skis AT Concentric DOT net Visit my page: http://www.concentric.net/~skis The Official Home Page of BGui and The Allegro Wishlist.
