one small question... IS IT YOURS?!?!
i don't know if anyone has been paying attention, but i seem to remember
someone (ben chambers) talking about something called PROFESSIONAL
CURTICY?! I think it would be more usefull for everyone... *including* the
author... not to just take it and make your own changes... the least you
could do is put the changes in a _patch_ file, and let people get it...
and make it known that it is not an official pugrade, but something that
you decided to fix (i know of people how have fixed it themselfs, and
didn't feel the need to appoint themselfs with continuing the Allegro
package).
just my thoughts...
