I really appreciate all the work contributed. I have occasionally tried to do my part to help in the past. I am confused. Just today I determined to install a new DJGPP/Allegro environment on a fresh Win98se installation at home. Since I'm not a newbie, I went right to town with the zippicker downloads. Unzipped the lot (DJGPP binaries - no sources) in C:\DJGPP edited autoexec.bat rebooted and proceeded right to the Allegro compile. I got to the "va_list" error termination and searched here to find the discussion. To my amazement, the discussion is actually quite fresh! I had to do a file search to find readme.DJGPP (I really couldn't find it by browsing even though I knew what I was now looking for.) So - - - What do we do with the cryptic message at the end of this hidden readme file?? I would have thought this would have been mentioned in the Installation Instruction page that zippicker reveals. I can't find any reference to this in Eli's FAQ either. (BTW Eli is a champ!) I also recall that I had no success on a Win2K installation a couple of months ago. That was a disappointment, because that is my laptop, and since this is a hobby, well, it would be nice. I see the reference to a fixup page in readme.DJGPP at http://clio.rice.edu/djgpp/win2k/main.htm I am going to give this a try.
