Ok,
but what this have to do with Windows 98? I don't care about NT because
this my program will not work under NT anyway due to IO ports access to
HW. But I'd like to run it under win9x as goog as in DOS. And the fact
is that delay() from 2.03 worked fine also under win9x.

Maybe I can solve it this way - unpack delay.o from old libc and make a
new patched libc with old delay and then rename this libraries depends
on compiled project. Or if the old delay is not so complicated, I can
include it to my source...
Or I merge both delay codes and add some OS detection to choose proper
one. BTW how do I detect WinNT presence some easy and reliable way?
Once I did it by reading environment variable %systemroot% which is
present on every NT (i hope).
