See FAQ section 9.4. Short answer: Add a '\n' to the "bye", or call
`fflush(stdout)' before `getch'.

 fairly simple. By looking at the Allegro

Just that. You have the Allegro sources (or can get them), so you can see
how datafiles are implemented. Once you know the format, you can write your
own program to create them. The same goes from `grabber', and since it
actually does creation of datafiles, it might help even more. I think the
source files you want are `src/datafile.c', `tools/grabber.c', and maybe
`src/file.c'. (This goes for Allegro 2.2, anyway.)

x (Slackware 3.2). I used Binutils 2.7.0.9 (a version
specially patched for Linux) because I had it handy; it seems to work fine.

Oh yeah, one note: I think GCC might expect to be built with `cc'. If so,
just symlink `gcc' to `cc' and it works.

$ ls
djcrx201.zip    gcc-2.7.2.1.tar.gz      binutils-2.7.0.9.tar.gz
$ unzip -a djcrx201.zip   # The `-a' is important!
$ ln -s cross/* .   # These files belong in the top-level dir.
$ emacs makefile    # Edit per install file
$ tar xzf binutils-2.7.0.9.tar.gz
$ mv binutils-2.7.0.9 binutils-2.7 # To keep makefile happy.
$ tar xzf gcc-2.7.2.1.tar.gz 
$ patch <patch.lib
$ make all
$ make install  # You may need to run `su' depending on where you install.

Hope this helps!
