In article <5utn62$34v0 AT elmo DOT cadvision DOT com>, frenchc AT cadvision DOT com says...
Hey, I posted this article but I think it was misunderstood... I'm looking to
port Allegro to DirectX 5.0, and was wondering if you have any info on
interfacing to Win95. I understand I need to do something called COM,
component object model or some such crap =) Here is the original article:

Hi, I have no Win95 experience, but is there any docs avail or anything
about doing COM stuff with DJGPP? I d/l'd CygWin32 and installed, but
I want to see first if I can do it at all with DJGPP. I think it should
be possible, although it's unlikely that it's too convenient. Anyways,
any pointers would be helpful, please email me at frenchc AT cadvision DOT com
as I don't always take the time I should to read c.o.m.d =\
The reason I ask is that, having recently installed Win95 and DX5 SDK, I
thought to myself: ``hey, a little while back you were all whining about
DirectX and Allegro, so...'' I'm going to try and do a DirectX port of
allegro <cheer! cheer!> I owe it to everybody, besides. I've been a bit
of a slacker in the djgpp community. I feel so bad. When my DX port of
Allegro is done, I will feel as if a great wieght has been lifted off my
shoulders. <sob> I'm so ashamed...
PS; that last bit wasn't really for real, I'm just real tired right now
and in a wierd mood...

Oh! I just had another thought; I read something about WinAlleg? Maybe it
would make more sense for me to try and work with whoever is currently doing
this! Who?
