Hi,
Here are the results of my further testings; I've used the following code,
compiled with gcc -g -o testkbd.exe testkbd.c:

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

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    register unsigned int i=0;

    allegro_init();
    install_keyboard();

    while (!keypressed())
        printf("%d\r", i++);

    printf("\nkey pressed.\n");

    exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
}

In a DOS box under Win 95, it's always ok.
In plain DOS, sometimes (not every time) the counter never stops.
I've tried the following combinations:
- DJGPP 2.01 + GCC 2.8.1 + Allegro 3.11
- DJGPP 2.02 + GCC 2.8.1 + Allegro 3.11
- DJGPP 2.02 + GCC 2.95.1 + Allegro 3.12
- DJGPP 2.02 + GCC 2.95.2 + Allegro 3.12
- DJGPP 2.02 + GCC 2.95.2 + Allegro 3.9.28
with Binutils 2.8.1 and Cwsdpmi 4.

I'm totally lost. Could somebody compile my code, test it in plain DOS, and
send to me the result and the executable file ?
Thanks in advance.
