What a beautiful sentence :)
Other associated concerns are definitely worth
mentioning and denotes that Allegro development is in
safe and quality-concerned hands.

Actually I'm not in an absolute need of this. Was just
curious to see that functionality. 

A few weeks ago, I saw a student in an inter-college
software competition in my town who programmed a
fantastic Telephone Answering Machine under Win9x
using Allegro+LexGUI.
I was so surprised to see that an Allegro+TAPI
application just started in main() and WndProc of
Allegro was hooked somewhere else to monitor just TAPI
related messages. The program ran rock-solid in
testing.
The source was also compact (regardless of the
overhead of executable size). The most impressive
point was so fancy-looking GUI with just a few lines
of code!

That was the compelling reason I'm so interested in
seeing such functionality. I tried myself using
sub/super-classing as I didn't want to touch Allegro
sources myself (even knowing I'm free to do that!)

I'll be grateful if you send the files because they
are modified by an expert not a novice like me. it'll
also be helpful for me to understand Allegro sources
better.

Thanks.
