Uh, I don't know why exactly no has responded to this
possible serious bug in the new Allegro joystick API
routines from the May 30 diff patch for Allegro 3.0

It seems on fast computers, pentiums 266+, the
new routines do not register the 'left' direction
on the joystick.

It did before I think in earlier wip's and versions
of the Allegro library. There is nothing wrong with
my jotstick/gamepad as it works fine with ROM
emulators who don't use Allegro joystick rountines.

The problem has been noticed in demo.exe and ex27.exe
The left direction on the control pad/joystick does
not register. It is not a simple calibration problem
either!

ANYONE have similar problems with a gravis game pad
on a fast machine?
