Looks great man!   ;D Near perfect port.  I got some wierd artifacting at one point though when I was scrolling through the list.  My machine is still being re-built though, so I'll check out everything on my end before I send in a snap though, might be some wierd driver issues.  

Finally some similar competition on a level playfield. :)

This summer is gonna be fun.

Dave Dribin:
Thanks!  For the record, all the graphics and sound code worked just by recompiling, thanks to the great Allegro library and the hard work of its developers:

It doesn't get as much press as SDL, but it is very stable and complete for 2D graphics.  The hardest part of the port was learning how to spawn a program with the Win32 API (I already knew how to do it under Unix).

I am very interested in feedback on the Windows version.  I've had good luck with it on my Win98 machine, but being the first release, I expect some problems.

Best frontend out there, IMHO.  Easy to setup and configure.
