definitely!   djgpp v2.0 generates EXTREMELY dpmi-compliant code...i've 
made stuff with it and ran it in multiple win95 dos boxes with no 
problems whatsoever....and now i can code in 32-bit pmode asm!   this 
timer builtin to allegro interests me....what is its resolution?   does 
it return ticks (that 18.2 per second thing) or mini-ticks (that 1.1 
million per second thing....or some number close to 1.1M)?
