I am using Allegro CL for Windows 2.0. In the standalone application of my program
- build with the runtime generator - two functions of the common-graphics package
have vanished: ask-user-for-font and pop-up-color-dialog. Other functions of the
same package are still here. 

Is it a known problem? Any suggestions to solve it?

Thanks, Rainer

If you have the development version of ACL you should get a copy of the
source for Common Graphics from Franz.  The source code is supplied free
upon request.  That way you can load functions that don't make their way
into the runtime.

Two cg package functions turned up missing in my runtime image; I sent
mail to ··········@franz.com, Franz responded promptly witha source code 
fix. 

I believe licensees of the "pro" package are entitled to source, I just haven't 
bothered to pursue this. Maybe we should both follow up and ask for a patch 
update...
