The delay() function comes from the djgpp runtime library, not from
Allegro. If you have installed the Allegro timer handler this is very
unlikely to work properly, so you should be using the Allegro rest()
function instead.

If this doesn't help, you will have to post some example code (the
smallest buildable program that demonstrates the trouble) for me to see
what is going on.

btw. would you please not crosspost your questions to this newsgroup and
the Allegro mailing list? Ask on the Allegro list if it is directly
related to Allegro, or in this group if it is more of a general djgpp
issue. There is no point asking in both places, because most of the
people who are likely to help you will just end up reading it twice...
