Hi Lewis,

I'll plug my wrapper library :) 
... euAllegro (I wrapper for Allegro - http://alleg.sourceforge.net) 
with added libraries for:
* Pixel Perfect Collision Detection (PPCol), 
* MOD playback (JGMOD),
* MP3 playback (ALMP3), and 
* Tile Library (Mappy) 

I haven't done anything with euAllegro for quiet some time but I 
imagine it's still stable.  It would be pretty easy to download the 
most recent Allegro sources and recompile the whole thing to bring 
it up to date.

The full sources and binary libs (DLL's) can be downloaded from
http://rays-web.com .

NOTE: I no longer maintain any of my Euphoria libs and would be happy
for anyone to take over maintenance / enhancements.  
I'll help anyone interested where I can.

Regards,

Ray Smith
