Hi Ray,

I just downloaded euAllegro 0.1x and now I see why I didn't use it. It's 
not technically for DOS, but it does use DirectX (which is really just a 
way to move the Microsoft window manager out of the way so you can get 
to DOS, right?). I have this really funky old video card, an Intense3D 
Wildcat with a geometry accelerator, and it doesn't support DirectX. The 
Risk clone I was working on did its thing in a win32 window rather than 
in a DirectX or DOS display. Since I wanted the larger display anyway 
and since 3D and graphics speed wasn't an issue, I was happy.

Anyway, thanks all the same.

-Ron T.
