Look Dim, I understand your point, and I use plain DOS, but you must take in count that the whole world is moving to Loose '95. I think that's bad for many reasons, but is a fact. From the other hand the task to develope a C program to run under Loose is a complex task. A simple program that takes 10 Allegro lines can be over than 100 lines coded for Windows. I think we must find what things makes collitions and at least put warnings on the use of these things. I think that isn't a high priority task for the djgpp developers but we must care about it. Specially about Loose '95 because it have much more users than DOS or Win NT. ------------------------------------ 0 -------------------------------- Visit my home page: http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Vista/6552/ Salvador Eduardo Tropea (SET).
