The control is done via a serial port (but not in the original code - there is a new piece of hardware here) so I am looking at using (as seen in the newsgroups) svasync or bcserio or dzcomm. I have read some intro. stuff for all of the above and tried a few things here and there, but it looks like dzcomm may be the most mature of these products. It depends on allegro in some way... Great. I like allegro. Only thing is .. I reall y really really detest booting into win95 :P blegh I installed djgpp as a cross compiled gcc and binutils so I could avoid the "w" word. Unfortunately the makefile for allegro is very very much DOS'ified. Has anyone made this library on linux using a cross-gcc before ? If so could ya would ya point me to a patch or two to make it more linux friendly ? I am not trying to use allegro on linux, only link with the libs on linux. I suppose I could build it on dos and then use the libs on linux... but I was hoping to be able to build it on linux as well :) Thankyou, Peter ( watch that from header it's anti-spammed ) -- pjordan at blackwire.com 436-0829 Black Wire Media "The meaning of a value is determined by how it is used" : Ousterhout
