I recently started learning C++, using djgpp and Allegro.  This stuff rules.

I had been using:
    i_love_bill=FALSE;  // disable speed control
Took me a few hours to figure out the reason why midis were playing at
hyper-speed.

What's the work around for this?  How can I make midis play at normal speed
on different computers, while the rest or the program runs at maximum
peed?  -- purpose being for turn-based games.

I'm also curious why it works this way.

Rob.
