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.
