Most of the example programs run very well on my
system -- 486 66 Mhz running on Windows 95. Several
of the example programs (ex6, ex7, ex8, ex9, ex13,
ex14 and ex20) which I have tested cause Windows 95
to place a warning box

--------------------------------------------------------
EX7 may not run well unless it is in MS-DOS mode. Would|
you like to create a shortcut to this program that it  |
will run in MS-DOS mode?                               |
--------------------------------------------------------

I can ignore the warning box and resume the program.
The program runs well except that whenever a mouse cursor
appears, it moves extremely sluggishly when I move the
mouse.

I noticed that all of these programs have the code
install_timer() in common. (The programs which run with
no problem do not have this function in the source code.)

Can anybody help me bypass this problem (which was also
present in alleg20 as well). It is preferable to not have
to reboot the computer into MS-DOS mode if possible. (I
get a Load error: no DPMI. when I try to run a DJGPP
application.)
