   Hello,
about recent discussion about PNG. I have written my own PNG loader
which does not depend on libpng nor zlib and if there would be
interested I can release it under Allegro licence. It's available at
http://molhanec.net/alpng09.zip . However note that it's just loading
not saving and it's not as fast and well tested as libpng of course (the
code is fresh).

Nice. May I ask what was the motivation for it? I guess it was like with
jpgalleg, just because it's cool to write a decoder of a format
yourself :)

the original motivation was to write yet-another PNG optimalizer, like the Ken Silverman's pngout (which is currently best but closed source), however I still haven't write the compressor part :-)
