Thanks Igor, I never knew that. I'll add it to the doco.

Is the reason poor performance of euAllegro on a 386 ...
or the hassle of to much other supporting software required?

Why I choose to go the path I did was for a long term future.
Euphoria DOS32 graphics based apps won't work on WinNT and Win2000?
This is my assumption ... is this correct?
My theory is ... a lot of people have DirectX and Windows
now and as time goes on more and more people will.
This way by using Allegro (DirectX) this gives me a larger and larger
"possible" user base.
As you mention your not interested in distributing software ... so
our aims are different and have decided to use different tools.
