Mesa doesn't have DJGPP support right now.... I was going to fix it and
I got all of the sources to compile (except amesa.c) for DJGPP + Allegro
but I do not know if there is any point. All OpenGL is just going to be
software emulation anyway hence slow... Try Linux, eg. Debian. Just make
sure to install woody with XFree 4+. This includes DRI and Mesa [h/w
accel. for cards like ATI Radeon with kernel 4+]. Anyway it works there.
Otherwise figure out why Borland did not install.... [once it happened
to me so I DL it again and it worked.. Figure that out.. I-Net glitch??]

Hope this help a bit,
Adam
