Content-Type: text/plain Date: Thu, 13 Aug 1998 02:13:44 PDT Precedence: bulk Hi, First I would just like to thank Peter, Stefan and Bjorn...for helping me out with regards to loading BMP's. I never expected such a quick response, and from so many people! What you guys are telling me is to get ALLEGRO, which basically takes the 'donkey-work' out of developing your progs. Thing is though, I had already downloaded alleg from one of Shawn Hargreave's recommended sites, but to my utter dismay, couldn't get it to work! As far as I can see, I have installed DJGPP correctly, with it's working environment settings in AUTOEXEC.BAT etc. Alleg, came in one Alleg30.zip file, which I also unzipped in Dj's directory. But when I use any of alleg's functions, it complains bitterly, that it can't find this and that!! It seems to me (after much hair-pulling/ chain-smoking investigations!!) that I am missing the LIBALLEG.A file. So I donwloaded it again from a reputable site, and it wasn't in the zip either! If some kind person, could PLEASE send me this file (or tell me where to find it), I would be forever grateful!! Once again, thanx for your time. It's nice to know there are nice folk out there, who don't mind sharing their knowledge with us dazed & confused newbies!
