Eli - I have been reading the posts here once or twice a day since I
dl'd djgpp and allegro.  My previious experience is in writing
operating systems in machine code and a proprietary form of assembly
which has been obsolete for 10 years.  By reading the answers you
provide, I am finding many of my future questions get answered prior
to my posing the question and I have been taking notes.  Learning C++
would have been far more difficult without your very helpful posts,
and I wanted you to know that they are very much appreciated.  I had
no idea that english was your second language and am very curious as
to what your first language is. 

Sorry if this was off topic but I want my appreciation to be a matter
of public record.  You and DJ and the others have been doing splendid
work, thank you and keep it up.

Scarecrow

Today I really MUST get organized ...
... as soon as I find my other shoe.
