I've been experimenting with Csaba Biegl's event queue library, and  
I'm impressed by it, but I have been unable to ever receive any  
keyboard events (although mouse events work fine).

For what it's worth, I'm running DOS 6.0 on a Dell 466/L.  This Dell  
machine did not originally come with DOS installed on it, so it's  
possible I'm missing a magical Dell-supplied driver or something (I'm  
new to DOS; can you tell?  :-).  Enclosed is a small test program to  
demonstrate my problem; I believe it should exit as soon as any key  
is pressed, but it hangs forever.

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!

#include <stdio.h>
#include "eventque.h"

int
main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
  EventQueue *q;
  EventRecord e;

  /* Initialize the event queue - only look for kbd events. */
  q = EventQueueInit (100, 0, NULL);
  q->evq_enable = EVENT_ENABLE (EVENT_KEYBD);

  /* Loop until we get any event. */
  while (!EventQueueNextEvent (q, &e))
    ;

  /* Clean up. */
  EventQueueDeInit ();

  return 0;
}
