Hi, Firstly - sorry its not a specific question about DJGPP but I`m really
stuck on a problem and could do with a helping hand.

I`m writing a little APP using allegro.

I`m setting the full-screen up using the directx driver (640x480 hicolour),
all works fine. I`ve recently stubbled upon the windows driver which sets my
program running in a window on the desktop.

Although its not a proper coded w32 it still runs perfectly. Its like being
able to program in DOS but being able to get in running in windows. The only
problem being that I cant shut it down with the 'x'.

The minimize button works but not the close button. As i`m not properly
coding for  w32, I guess it isnt being polled for it. At the moment the only
way of closing my program is by putting a quit button in the actual program.

Does anyone please know of a way I can poll for the close button without
resorting to w32 code or changing my programs code completely.

Please Help !
