I got the file here: http://ftp.digitalmars.com/bup.zip

It works on other computers.

I was trying to update to the latest DAllegro 
(https://github.com/SiegeLord/DAllegro5).

Though, I used another computer for the lib files and still 
couldn't get the latest DAllegro5 working.

The .bat files in https://github.com/SiegeLord/DAllegro5 work 
fine for me.

Could you please be more specific about what exactly you are 
doing, and what went wrong?

Keep in mind that you need Allegro binaries (e.g. from 
http://liballeg.org/download.html#windows) to use implib.

I have the dll's in the same directory where I run the create lib 
.bat file. It displays the normal stuff, but no lib files!

I'm wondering if implib needs to be worked on.

Sorry, that's still not specific enough.

I've just tested this in a fresh directory:
1. Get https://github.com/SiegeLord/DAllegro5
2. Get 
https://github.com/liballeg/allegro5/releases/download/5.2.2.0/allegro-mingw-gcc6.2.0-x86-static-5.2.2.zip
3. Put, for example, allegro-5.2.dll from the archive to 
DAllegro5 directory.
4. Run create_import_libs.bat, here is the output:
-----
...>rem This batch file creates import dlls in the current folder 
and strips the version number
...>rem because OPTLINK sucks.
Digital Mars Import Library Manager Version 7.6B1n
Copyright (C) Digital Mars 2000.  All Rights Reserved.
Input is a Windows NT DLL file 'allegro-5.2.dll'.
Output is a Windows NT import library.
Digital Mars Import Library Creator complete.
-----
5. Now I got allegro.lib in the directory.

Which of these steps fails for you, and how?

Step 5. I don't get any lib files.

I got lib files on another computer, though.
