There are some changes but the API is largely the same. fl_initialize
has changed its argument list and a couple of the goodies may have
also changed -- it's been a while and I don't recall all the changes.
If you have a good compiler which points out prototype errors, you
should nail them all in one or two passes -- shouldn't take more than
a few minutes, really. Most of the changes have been enhancements and
internal bug fixes.

If you want code that works, you really need to upgrade, or, barrign
that, at least compile against a consistent set of includes and
libraries. Sorry, but my magic wand is in the shop for its 10,000
wave servicing and I can't suggest anything else.
