Well, I have to agree with Shawn about his view on "advertising". But then
again, if everyone is going to start lobbying for a logo, I think this
would be the best way to go about it. Just like people have done in the
past for The Gimp and Debian Linux.

I know I would submit a few entries to a contest like this. :-)

You cant compile winallegro with rsxntdj or whatever(get vc++) you can however
use the premade dll and library just link the library in to the program you try
an compile and make sure to include the header.

Wow thanks! So basically I was attempting the impossible? Seems I'm in the
running for "stupidest Allegro user of the year"!
