THank you both for the responses. I've since been able to make the
allegro files, but have not yet had the opportunity to do some
programming attempting to use them. 
	In talking to the VirtualPC people, I was told the VPC emulator should
not have problems with protected mode DOS apps or nested DPMI apps. They
suggested that the stripped down version of DOS in Windows95 could be
causing the problem so I created another disk image for my PC emulation
to access and installed DOS 6.22 (after some trouble with the setup(it
did not recognize my W95 version of DOS)) then transferred all the DJGPP
files to a new directory therein. I edited the autoexec.bat file,
changed to the allegro dir and ran make. When I awoke this morning it
appeared all had made, but there was "ERROR1" with no other info at the
end of the make list and then my DOS prompt. I look forward to the next
strange occurance which will befall my Mac based trek into the DOS
world.
	Thank you for the information and support. Before long I may go ahead
and shell out the three hundred bucks for a 486 machine or better and by
that time I may know enough about the system and DJGPP to be of some
support for others.

Thanks all
Jeff D.S.
