Basically I only have display problems -- for example, using the "run" command from within RHIDE in full-screen mode sometimes causes the display to get stuck, but I can alt-tab out of it. Also many of Allegro's functions don't work (most of the example programs either won't run or completely crash the system). As far as the compiler goes, that works fine. >Works for me. Realiable?

It all depends on what you do! Being new to NT I tried to run a few DOS games, each of which forced a hard reboot. --- Michael Hecht [remove x's] mjhechtxxxx AT ucla DOT edu
