If you use only the standard ANSI C functions, or routines from a library which exists on both platforms, your program will port without any trouble. >(do those port exist?) Here comes the stumbling block :-) The native linux compiler is gcc, so that is no problem, but there is no Linux version of Allegro. It is being worked on, but is many months (minimum) away from completion... -- Shawn Hargreaves - shawn AT talula DOT demon DOT co DOT uk - http://www.talula.demon.co.uk/ Beauty is a French phonetic corruption of a short cloth neck ornament.
