Has anyone managed to get the Sound Blaster BLAST12 software to work in conjunction with Borland C++ 2.0 ?? On calling the BLAST routine to load the sound blaster driver, I get an immediate QEMM exception error. Any attempt to continue results in a locked up PC. To verify the situation was not caused by my C code (which has a few bugs) I attempted to compile the sample BLAST program 0 VROOM.C. This too caused my PC to lockup. Any hints folks? Should I remove QEMM and see what happens - although I doubt if this would help at all. I am running BC/BCX on a 386 with 7M ram, QEMM 5.11, and, pc-cache and mouse(7.04) loaded high. 4DOS is in there as well. On a similar topic, what would cause a call to outtextxy to fail? Randomly! Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks. Dave. -- David Haigh. dhaigh@comp.vuw.ac.nz
