DOS specifics
There are four Allegro files which you should redistribute along your program.
These are the files `keyboard.dat', `language.dat', `allegro.cfg' and
`setup.exe'.
The first two contain internationalisation information for keyboard mappings
and system messages to show up localised on the user's computer. The
`setup.exe' program, which comes in Allegro's `setup' directory, is a
standalone tool which you can graphically customise and even embed into your
main binary. The user can generate a configuration file with this tool, to
store special settings or avoid Allegro's autodetection failing on specific
hardware. Even if you distribute `setup.exe', you are recommended to copy too
the empty `allegro.cfg' file, in case the setup program itself is unable to
run and the user has to edit manually the configuration with a text editor.
If you are using get_config_text() in your program to localise text strings,
merge your xxtext.cfg files with the ones provided by Allegro in the
`resource' directory before creating `language.dat', and redistribute this
with your program. This file will contain then both Allegro's system
messages and the strings of your program.
