Hello,

    Sorry for all the posts, but this one is a real nuisance. I can't get my
FPS function to work right. I installed the timer function but keep getting
error messages. Here's my code, please tell me what is the matter.

//code starts
volatile int last_fps;
volatile int frame_counter;

void fps(...)
{
 last_fps = frame_counter;
 frame_counter = 0;
}
END_OF_FUNCTION (fps);

void init()
{
 allegro_init();
 install_keyboard();
 set_gfx_mode(GFX_AUTODETECT,800,600,0,0);
 install_timer();
 buffer = create_bitmap(800, 600);
 clear_bitmap(buffer); // zero the memory bitmap
 vsync();
 datafile = load_datafile("head.dat");
 a = (BITMAP*)datafile[0].dat;
 b = (BITMAP*)datafile[1].dat;
 LOCK_FUNCTION (fps);
 LOCK_VARIABLE (last_fps);
 LOCK_VARIABLE (frame_counter);
 install_int (fps,1000);
}

Error messages I get:
test.h:29: cannot convert `void (*)(...)' to `void*' for argument `1' to
`int_go32_dpmi_lock_code(void*, long unsigned int)'
test.h:32: cannot convert `void (*)(...)' to `void (*)()' for argument `1'
to `int install_int(void (*)(), long int)'

Thanks.
