Hi All:

For a long .... time.

I agree. I have some code to swap.

I think that a group of people must coordinate at least a way to patch some 
things on Allegro (Eli will be very happy if somebody stops the rain of "I 
can't compile ... in mach64.s") and to add some new things. If better if one of 
the group is in the same town that Shawn (or at least not at 10.000 Km) to send 
periodically some information to and from him. That's only an opinion.

SET.
