Eli, thanks as always. You are a one-stop source of information!
I certainly can compile it now. My only problem now is that the
program crashes instantly upon running it. I suppose I will have to go
through it by hand and do a real update of it.
It was written with DJGPP 1.09 or so in mind, and clearly a much
earlier version of GRX, and the notes that came with it discuss the
necessity of setting the "go32.exe" path and all that old stuff- i
just assumed i didn't need to do any of it. If I am wrong, let me
know.
BTW, I've used allegro, and I've used jlib... I wonder why I never
considered (or, frankly, knew about) this package. I've not looked at
it closely, but its portability sure looks enticing.
