Hehe... actually, I only need one, but the other ones aren't any more work.
Still, I see your point.

Ok. I'll add the flipping routines I need to my project's code when I get 
round to it. After all, there is no real need to integrate it in Allegro 
itself and no hurry to do so.
Vincent: in what way does your gouraud RLE sprite drawing code differ from 
Allegro?
