Yo, Allegro users!

Few days ago I downloaded Caldera OpenDOS 7.01, installed it on my PC. I
was happy, because everything in OpenDOS is fine, cool and free. But after
a while I nearly decided to go back to M$ DOS 6.22, because under OpenDOS
Allegro goes wild. I find out that all problems are caused by EMM386.EXE.
It freeze Allegro timer functions. For example, mouse pointer isn't
updated. Example, wich demonstrated 5 seconds timing stops at 1 and wait
until the end of time.

The only way to avoid all those problems is to start being homosexual, and
have some sex with Bill G. (joke). I.e. you must put

	i_love_bill = TRUE;

before Allegro initialization.

Ciao, Adrian.
