	Hello.

	A new version of the PPCol library has been released. This is the change:

	- Added specific functions to check the amount we have to move a given
sprite or mask to avoid the collision with other sprite in the requested
direction. The normal function is a 23.7% faster than using the normal
PPCol function and the bitmasked function is a 63.6% faster than using the
normal bitmasked PPCol function (on my 5x86). Suggested by Jorg Ruppel
"Sharky-X".


	You can download the library from my homepage:
http://members.xoom.com/baldo/ppcol14.zip or from SimtelNet:
ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2tk/allegro/ppcol14.zip.

	Zip file is 37kb long.

	Remember that no matter that DJ uploads things to SimtelNet at the speed
of light, there is always some delay to appear on all mirrors, so, wait a
little before downloading it from there or download it from my homepage.

	Who don't knows what PPCol is: it is a library for sprites collision
detection using Allegro. For more information look at my homepage (see
footer).

	Ok, goodbye!

P.s.: is there some PPCol user that isn't in the Allegro mailing list?
P.s.2: what is the best place to announce this library: the Allegro mailing
list or the DJGPP-Announce mailing list/newsgroup?
