One was this:

http://www.allegro.cc/forums/view_thread.php?_id=484193

Basically, the reporter claims that key_shifts doesn't work correctly
under win98. I have no idea so far what would cause this.

The other was this:

No idea at all what to think of it, I'll try if I somehow can the Esc
key get to be ignored in exkeys.

I'll try them both this weekend, but very likely I won't come up with a
solution to either. Unless I'd update that WM_CHAR driver I still have.

Ah, yes. I'll submit the new patch today.

Yes. "ssh cf.sf.net" should get you there :) (But I forgot how to check
out Allegro there, I think you need to use a special address for the cvs
server.)

What about my split demo? It's all ready to be committed, but somehow I
want an ok first :)

Hm, I sent a patch for rest() yesterday, so I can take the timer
section. And the keyboard section, I was to update the keyboard.dat info
in there anyway. Heh, I guess that's about 1% of the docs :)

It would be nice to have a binary for sure. If all else fails, I could
try to do a cross-compiled one..
