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).
