Re: [AD] Allegro 4.0.3

[Matthew Leverton <matthew@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If I remember correctly, the "allegro-dlls" is the same as the 
allegro-4.0.3-msvc6make.zip file on http://www.allegro.cc/files. I give 
it a different name, because I feel the all402_bin.zip name is 
misleading due to its incompleteness. To me, it's not a binary package, 
but simply the DLLs + a helper script in order to compile Allegro from 
the sources. I then provide true binary packages for each major 
compiler, complete with examples, tools, and libs.

Anyway, feel free to use the msvc6make package if you would like. It's 
simply a modified version of the 4.0.2. It may actually be slightly 
incomplete if new examples were added, but I did take a quick look at 
the output, and it seemed to get everything.

The difference in the size may be due to UPX being used on the DLLs? I 
typically use UPX when I make packages since it helps decrease the 
filesize, and I have to upload them all via 28.8kbps modem...
