BACKLASH
--------
30SEP95 - MJT - Full/Shareware Release 1.10
Problems?
---------
If you encounter program termination with an error code ( i.e. Exception
0001 ), you have one of the following problems:
0001 : Memory Allocation Error : There is not enough available memory to
run BACKLASH. BACKLASH requires 500k free conventional memory and
750k available extended or expanded memory. Refer to the MS-DOS manual
for information on making more memory available.
0002 : Missing Resource File : A file required by the program is missing.
Re-install the software to fix the problem. If that does not fix the
problem, get a new copy of the release.
0010 : Corrupted Resource File : The contents of one of the files has
been corrupted. Re-install the software to fix the problem. If that
does not fix the problem, get a new copy of the release.
Other error numbers indicate an internal problem that can only be fixed
by updating the software.
Configuring a Sound Card
----------- - ----- ----
BACKLASH only supports 100% SoundBlaster compatible sound cards. Some cards
require special configuration in order to set up "SoundBlaster Compatibility
Mode". Refer to the sound card documentation for more details.
An improperly configured sound card can cause a variety of problems.
Problem : No sound, no music.
Fix : Make sure that the software is set up to use a sound card.
Problem : No sound, music works.
Fix : Make sure that the software is set up to use the sound card as
a sound effects device. Verify that the base address configured
for the sound card is correct.
Problem : Sound plays then stops, music works
Fix : The interrupt channel for the sound card is not correct.
Determine the proper interrupt channel for the sound card
configuration and reconfigure the sound card using the set up
program.
Problem : No sound, no music, program "locks"
Fix : The DMA channel for the sound card is not correct. Determine
the proper DMA channel for the sound card configuration and
reconfigure the sound card using the set up program.
Other Problems
----- --------
The file BL.OUT is generated when BACKLASH is run. The contents of the file
may be useful in determining the conflicts with the machine configuration.
