Does anyone know exactly how TP inline code works, whether it actually
sets up an area of machine code which executes as described or whether it's
interpreted, or maybe some combination of both?  I recently translated an
assembler routine which is part of a system for dealing with polyphonic
music on PCs into inline code which I know is correct, since I'd rather deal
with this particular application in Turbo than C or basic, but the results
unfortunately sound like three dogs growling at eachother, which is not what
the original routine in basic/masm sounds like and not what Mozart intended.
This leads me to believe that inline code is interpreted in some way i.e.
that it isn't really fast enough to produce notes higher than dog growls...
