Did you unzip Allegro with WinZip? WinZip is notorious
for problems with anything related to DJGPP. Otherwise, I
don't know. If you don't have the latest Allegro, get version
3.926 from http://www.talula.demon.co.uk/allegro/

DPMI is the DOS Protected Mode Interface.

CWSDPMI. It's free. Get it at the Zip Picker.
