Hi Ray,

After losing myself in usenet for months, I have finally snapped out of it, and
am starting to be more productive with my time again, deciding to do something
useful with exoticaX that I looked at ages ago.
Am I correct in assuming that because Allegro is a wrapper for DirectX (in
Windows at least), your wrapper is adding another level of "wrapperness" to
this?  Will this in turn not make the whole thing a tad slower?
Obviously, ease of use might override this somewhat, so is it a lot easier to
use than exoticaX?
If it is then you may certainly count me in.
