Hello fellow DJGPP'ers, I have a bit of code that does not exactly do
what I think IT should do. I think that the code should loop without
any user intervention but that does not seem to be the case. The
printf statement is only executed whenver I touch a key, I wanteds it
to be continous without key input, what am I doing wrong?

Sorry for teh following code snippet, but I'm at work now and don't
have the real code in front of me, but here is what it does

The "readkey" is an ALLEGRO function for reading keyboard input
CODE SNIPET

void main_loop(void)
{

 while (quit != 1)
 {
  readkey(...
  readkey(...
  readkey(...
  readkey(...
  readkey(...

  if (this and that) do this...
  if (this and that) do this...
  if (this and that) do this...

  printf("Depth: %d Heading: %d   Speed: %d\n",depth,heading,speed);
 } // end while loop
} //end function

Thanks!
