NAME
install_timer - Installs the Allegro timer interrupt handler.
SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro.h>
int install_timer();
DESCRIPTION
Installs the Allegro timer interrupt handler. You must do this before
installing any user timer routines, and also before displaying a mouse
pointer, playing FLI animations or MIDI music, and using any of the GUI
routines.
RETURN VALUE
Returns zero on success, or a negative number on failure (but you may
decide not to check the return value as this function is very unlikely to
fail).
