I have nearly finished a game using djgpp and allegro 2.2 - I wish to make
this game run the same regardless of the processor and speed of the machine
that it is running on.

What I think I need to do is setup a pause in the middle of the main loop
with the length of pause determined by the speed and type of processor
e.g. pause 0 milliseconds if a 486 33mhz, pause 10 milliseconds if a 486 66mhz
, pause 100 if Pentium 75mhz, and so on.

Can anyone tell me a way that I can write a function that returns processor
type and speed?

Thanks in advance

Neil
