My list of djgpp stuff keeps growing, the trafic to the DJGPP's ring is 
increasing, the port of Allegro to other platforms (Linux and X included) 
seems to be advancing, etc.
But I think you must code what you want, if you like this enviroment more 
than Wincrap continue, if not just leave. 
There are a list of games made with Allegro, try asking in:

 <allegro AT mail DOT canvaslink DOT com>

There are 2 Allegro mailing lists.
