No make file supplied as part of BooM source zip (boom202s.zip)...

DJGPP certainly does have an exe called make. Maybe I shall investigate
this.
(Am I correct in thinking not many people have tried digging deeper than
DeHacked?)

Returning to a previous post regarding Allegro's path (Grzegorz Adam
Hankiewicz - gradha AT iname DOT com)...
I wrote a "Hello World!" program which included basic Allegro stuff. Failed
first time because I *had* forgotten to set Options>Libraries for "alleg".
When this was set, build successful. Also, I was able to reference "joy_b1",
a variable which causes an error when attempting to build BooM.

If neither Ty nor Lee pick-up on this, maybe I shall contact TeamTNT direct.

Thanks for input,

JohnN
