I have used three solutions to this problem.  The first two worked, the
last one has not.

	1.   QuickBasic 4.0 DOES support Hercules and I have written
	     routines using it and then tying those routines into
	     QuickC.

        2.   I wrote my own assembly language routines for accessing
	     the Hercules board and tied those into my QuickC.

        3.   Made death threats to Microsoft.

Hopefully, since QB 4.0 does support a non-*trublu* standard the next
release of QC will also.
