Hi

I use uclock and it works perfectly in most my programs. But in XaoS
it causes problems. Time calculated by:

b=uclock();
some stuff
c=uclock()-b;
sometimes c is lower than 0 and sometimes greater. It is caused by allegro
timers. When I disable them it works well but mouse/dialogs are broken.
Is there any solution except use allegros timers for my own clock counter
at higher freqency thats breaks my idea of univerzal time library I use in
most my programs?

BTW similiar efect is caused by linux dosemu too.
