Having lately acquired a SoundBlaster I ftp'd trakblaster but I'm
having problems running it. I have a 386/33 with SVGA and a sound blaster.
When I try to run Trakblaster (version 1.2 BTW) with some .MOD files it plays
for about 20-30 seconds (sounds great!) and then gets a divide overflow error
and hangs the machine. So my question is, is there a newer version perhaps
that will work on a 386? There was a very short text file that mentioned it
not working on somebody's 386 but it wasn't too clear. If there is a new
version can somebody perhaps uuencode it and mail it to me or indicate an ftp
site that has it? Thanks.

Thanks. > David Yu There are two solutions to your problem. 1) Slow down your 386 to 8 mhz. For most people this has solved the divide by zero problem. 2) Run a TSR to trap the divide by zero overflow error. The 4DOS command shell already does this, so if you want a far superior command shell and the ability to run trakblaster @ 33mhz try installing it. It is available on SIMTEL and chyde.uwasa.fi. ----------------------------- Hubert Shaw INET: hshaw@neon.stanford.edu
