Let me ask this: What's the point of naming it one thing when the player has to re-name it to get it to work? Why not just name the file "alleg42.dll" to start out with?

It usually is. DN must have changed it for some reason and then forgotten to change it back before he compiled. That's my theory at least.

When ZC is compiled with MinGW, which is what I use, it uses alleg42.dll, which is the filename of the Allegro dll that MinGW creates when it compiles Allegro. For some reason, the Allegro created by Visual C++ is called alleg42_crt.dll. You'd have to ask DarkDragon or jman about that.
