| allegro @ msvc i heard that the allegro library is best supported by the djgpp compiler. but i have some problems compiling all my files with djgpp so i prefer to use my ms vc++ 5.0 program to write my c programs. is there a way to use the allegro library (allegro.h) in my programs when i use ms vc++ 5.0? i don't think that the allegro library has been exclusively written for djgpp, isn't it? thanks! dune911 |

| Why don't you just use way better libraries than Allegro such as Win32 or MFC? There is no reason to have MSVC++5. You can get a introductory edition of MSVC++6 with many books. Infact VS.NET is now available in Beta. I think that VC++5 is about a million years old. |

| If you have Win2k professional than install the DVD. It is way easier to use than DJGPP or MSVC++5. It has a million times the help capasity, including dynamic help. If you do not have Win2k or WinXP (which is not officially released yet) than do not install it. |
