On the subject of a different sort of portability, anyone know a good Mac multi-purpose library? I'm using Allegro right now, and it seems to take care of just about everything. It would be wonderful if there were some sort of equivalent library for when I port my game over to OS/2, or whatever their wacky operating system is called.
Thanks.

The latest MAC is built on *nix (linux of some sort), and allegro works just fine when compiled for Linux (and Unix, and BSD), so i think a recompile jsut might be able to do the trick.

Thanks, but I'm not targeting the latest Macs. I'm targeting the iMac (or whatever that system is called, I can't keep them straight; the one where they started getting colourful). I don't believe they run any sort of Unix-based thing, do they?
Sort of on this subject, I just installed the Cygwin Linux shell. Man, Linux is cool. Just can't think of any particular use for it.

Ouch, now I'm bad. I thought the whole point of the poll was to be able to give my opinion without writing up a whole explanation about it? :-)

SDL offically supports Linux, Windows, BeOS, MacOS, MacOS X, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, BSD/OS, Solaris, and IRIX. The code contains support for Windows CE, AmigaOS, Atari, QNX, NetBSD, AIX, OSF/Tru64, and SymbianOS, but these are not yet officially supported.

Thanks, Deyke. I'll look into that.
Oh, and yes, Bjorn, I thought the same thing, but nobody's voting. 14 votes so far... not an exceptionally wide sample. Oh, well.
I agree with adam; they're waiting to make sure they're on the winning side. Dang fence-sitters.

better than the amount of posts than i got on my first poll. it was, "Utilities: In or out?" and you chose whether you used utilites, or not, or you don't know.
utilities are programs that make programming easier, like a paint program.
