IMHO, these questions are off-topic for DJGPP newsgroup.  If you have
access to e-mail services, you'd better ask questions about Allegro on
one of Allegro mailing lists (see Allegro home page for mailing list
addresses).

X version of Allegro was integrated in WIP version of Allegro.  It
will be released together with new version of Allegro.  New major
version of Allegro will be released when it is ready (I think, nobody
knows when).  But latest WIP versions are rather stable and there
should be no significant changes in API, so you can use WIP version of
Allegro.

You did not tell us which version of Allegro you are using.  If you
don't use WIP version 3.9.29, then get it from

http://sunsite.auc.dk/allegro/wip.html

If you are using new WIP of Allegro already, then read on.  I don't
understand what do you mean with "example programs do not lie in
window".  If you mean that window size is not set correctly, i.e. only
part of Allegro screen is visible in window, then it is known problem
with some window managers.  Apply the following patch and test if it
works correctly.  Let me know if it does not work.
