"delay" is standart library function for Turbo-C, but not for MSC.
Some "delay" emulation code for MSC in file "dcplib.c" contains very
unplesant bug:

       ...
	 milliseconds =- (t.millitm - last); /* Yes --> mSecond delta*/
       ...
         milliseconds =- 1000 * (int) (t.time - seconds)
       ...

But in MSC (like in all ANSI's standard compilers) "=-" means "= -",
not "-=". I spend more then 6 hours to localize this bug.
