I wrote the program below to learn how to use 
the mouse routine in allegro:

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

main() {
   int lastx, lasty;

   allegro_init();
   install_keyboard();
   install_mouse();
   position_mouse(160, 100);
   printf("x %d\n", mouse_x);
   printf("y %d\n", mouse_y);
   lastx = mouse_x;
   lasty = mouse_y;
   do {
      if (mouse_x != lastx) {
         printf("x %d\n", mouse_x);
         lastx = mouse_x;
         }
      if (mouse_y != lasty) {
         printf("y %d\n", mouse_y);
         lasty = mouse_y;
         }
      if (mouse_b & 1) {
	 printf("left\n");
         }
      if (mouse_b & 2) {
	 printf("right\n");
         }
   } while (!keypressed());
   }

the thing is that this program works under the dos
box in windows but not in msdos. the problem is that
it's not displaying the correct x and y coords.
any ideas why this is happening?
thanx in advance.
