How to find allegro.ppu

Hi. I have some allegro code that I wrote in Pascal about 1-1 1/2 years ago. I kept my source, .exe, but deleted many of the allegro files. Now I am trying to do more allegro programming based on my original code. I have the line "uses allegro;" and the compiler complains that it can't find the file. Neither can I when I look online! Is there a new file/files that take its place? Thanks for any help!

The only version of Allegro for Pascal that I've heard about is Allegro.pas. Is that what you're looking for?

Thanks for responding. No, that's not it. I just downloaded that, and found several units, but not alllegro.pas. Among other things, I am looking for named constants AL_SCREEN_W, AL_SCREEN_H.

Sorry, I don't have any experience with Pascal nor using Allegro with it, so I'm afraid I can't be of much help. Maybe someone else knows though.

AL_SCREEN_H and AL_SCREEN_W are from Allegro 4. Did you download the Allegro 4 version of allegro-pascal from the link Eric gave you?

I don't remember another pascal binding so Niunio would be your best bet to ask.

Thanks DanielH and Eric Johnson! I downloaded version 4.4.5 and found the constants. Thanks again.

You welcome.

Anyway, remember to read the documentation. They explain differences between versions.

I'm happy somebody else uses it. ;D
