OK, so here's where I am:
- I compiled the game under Windows and DOS today, and it appears that
  on my machine, the DOS release can't load ressources, but the Windows one
  can.
- to check if the bug is in Liquid War or Allegro, I tried to launch the
  "filetest" which ships with Allegro. As for LW, it works under Windows
  and pathetically fails under DOS.
- I've uploaded here:
  http://www.ufoot.org/archive/filetest.zip
  a zip file which contains the 2 tests (for DOS & Windows). It would be
  just cool if you could try them on your computer. Basically, they
  should allow you to browse your disks. If not => Allegro bug!
- I'll file the bug to the Allegro developpement team anyway, for
  there's a bug (at least under DOS)
- if I was compiling stuff under DOS, it's beacause 5.5.0 is just almost
  released 8-)

Have a nice day.

Christian.
