The normal Allegro will not work.  Use WinAllegro, which I
recently ported to work with RSXNTDJ.  Get WinAllegro 3.0 WIP 5,
which has the RSXNTDJ support included in the main zip.  Go to:

    http://1Stein.home.pages.de/

and have a browse.  You need the `user' version of WinAllegro --
the 2Mb zip file -- not the `end user' or `developer'
distributions.  You may or may not need `msvcrt.dll'.

Also you might be interested in files here:

    http://www.canvaslink.com/gfoot/winallegro/

which describe my suggestions for installing RSXNTDJ (which
you've already done, of course), and for writing programs that
compile to Win32 versions using WinAllegro and DOS versions
using normal Allegro from the same source code.

Please ignore all the patches there, which refer to WinAllegro
3.0 WIP 4, because they're no longer needed with the latest
WinAllegro.
