I've also downloaded it, and it's awesome.  Those of you who are new to
game programming and want a development platform that's cheap (i.e. free)
and of high quality should take a look at DJGPP and Shawn Hargraeve's
Allegro library.

I myself plan on converting my current game project written in Turbo C++
with XLIB 6.0 to DJGPP using Allegro 2.0.  Thank you, Shawn, for a fine
game programming library.
