Does it completely > change it where you need to do weird stuff to program in regular C? okay, for If you're asking about the C++ libraries, they don't do anything but allow you to program in C++. They have no effect on your ability to program in C. The only problems I can foresee is if you name functions or variables with C++ reserved words since you'll get warning (maybe error) messages. I can't say for certain since I never use reserved words like that. > my second question, i haven't been able to get the datafiles to work, and i > wonder if possibly an installation problem could be something that's wrong. > could the improper installation of allegro screw up the datafiles? That all depends on what you mean by, "haven't been able to get the datafiles to work." You'll need to be specific on what your problem is.
