If you have timer handler with high resolution (like Allegro's one)
declare global counter tick_counter and do tick_counter++ 'each'
clock cicle, also declare variable last_left_click and set it
to tick_counter value each left mouse click. Befor this assigment
check last_left_click-tick_counter<=dbl_click_time :
long tick_counter
...
timer_handler ()
 { tick_counter++;
   ...
 }
...
mouse_handler ()
 { static last_left_click=tick_counter;
   if ((last_left_click-tick_conter)<=dbl_click_time)
    { //dbl click
      last_left_click=tick_counter;
      return();
    }

   last_left_click=tick_counter;
 }
