Hi,
during my forays into the allegro code, i noticed that structs are set up
like:

typedef struct X
 {
    .....
 } X;
...
X x;

Now, when i was programming in borlands compiler, i just went:

struct X
 {
   .....
 };
...
X x;

So, what is the difference??

I have trouble also understanding why i couldn't use the second setup in my
c code in a small test program i made (it gave me many errors) while in
another program i could go:

struct X
 {
   .....
 }y;

why??

does anyone understand this or am i missing something?
