Thanks for the info ... BTW just to learn something
new is as good a reason as any to do anything in my
book. :)

The openPTC website states that there is currently no
X11 code maintainer for openPTC. Kind of a bummer if
you ask me because it seems like a nice lib.
Although, I wish the Pascal Community had more
interest in Allegro. For that matter, I wish that a
band of Pascal programmers would rally to the cause of
building new games in Pascal.

Ahh.. code like the old days of Unix... make your code
small, make it do exactly one thing very well.

Nice game. It ran very smoothly as you said it would.
As for a name idea, how about `stack 'n crumble` :)
