	Hello cool people!!
	Finally: a Final version of the library!!!

	What PPCol is: PPCol is a pixel perfect collision detection library for
Allegro sprites. It is freeware and IMO fairly easy to use and install.

	Features:
		- Bitmasked pixel perfect collision detection routines, supporting 8, 15,
16, 24 and 32bpp sprites (not supports RLE or COMPILED sprites).
		- Normal pixel perfect collision detection routines (pixel-by-pixel
based). Supports only memory bitmaps of 8, 15, 16, 24, and 32bpp.
		- Bounding box collision detection macro.
		- Source code distribution with makefile to automatize the installing
process and building of the library and documentation.
		- Reach documentation in the Allegro Makedoc utility format, thus,
supporting all the formats that the Makedoc utility supports (Info, HTML,
plain text, etc.).
		- Example program showing basic functionality of the library.
		- Freeware.

	Go to my homepage (look signature) and look in the "My programs" section
or download it directly from http://members.xoom.com/baldo/ppcol10.zip.
File is 24kb long.

	Thanks to all the people that has contributed and helped with the
development of this library.

	Goodbye!

P.s: How about uploading this library to the Simtel distribution of DJGPP?
With who I have to talk, with DJ Delorie or Shawn Hargreaves?
