CVS is a godsend when doing software development with multiple people. I'm
trying to convince my department (well, my supervisor really) to start
using CVS.

Yes! There are, in fact, several other instances of int <---> long issues
that should be dealt with at some point, but I'll make that a seperate
post.

I *think* I made that change when I extended the vtables, but I'm not
positive. Issues like this could be more easily prevented if there was a
list of all vtables defined by Allegro and a list of sourcefiles where they
are defined. I should probably use grep to check this whenever I'm working
on things, but it's still a bother that they aren't listed.

Good man. ;)
I had planned to test Allegro in DJGPP again one of these days, but hadn't
gotten round to it yet.

Sounds interesting. :)
Be careful about being too liberal with posting results from your research
online though... not everyone will give you proper credit if they use your
work...
