Thanks Rob,

It works perfectly.

Using the Allegro DLL I was able to grab a few exported variables
which is great news.  It also means if you have the source code
of any DLL's you want to use you can use extern's in your variable
declarations to open them up for Euphoria.

Now ... should I re-write euAllegro?????  hmmmm
