Yes, I realized when I got home yesterday that it was working fine under Win95 now that I've switched back to using my trackball (which is using the default Microsoft driver). > >I also noticed that the timing for the MIDI music is off under Windows > >95 - it must be because the timers are less accurate that way. > > Is this with Allegro 2.2?

It's with 2.2 beta - I haven't upgraded yet (got the files tho). The music seems to play faster under Windoze than under DOS (under DOS the speed is about right, but it is noticeably faster under Win95). That reminds me, I have the file formats for .IBK and .BNK instrument bank files for FM music cards, and I've been successful in using them in Allegro, so I was wondering if anyone was interested in me (or someone else) writing some routines to let you load in your own .IBK or .BNK files for instruments in your programs (to use with Allegro's MIDI routines).
