Does anybody here knows how to have a machine-code-program which is
loaded in by an Euphoria program, if your Euphoria program is still
active. This program will install its interrupts, and these will not be
released when euphoria aborts my program and displays an error message.
Here is my respond to Mark Honnor's mail, and you will hear why this
problem has to be resolved.....

you mean a real-time mixing system, this is a lot harder to implend
that normal digitized sound output. If he would just add the code to the
original code (i think) it would be extremely slow (compared to other
mixing libraries out there). There are a few algorithms (yes, i'm
talking out sound mixing in real-time) that are very fast. They can play
a 4-track mod (ie 4 different sounds at a time) with all effects (basic
mod effects and ussually also ft, st & it effects) at 22,000 16 bit
stereo and only use 1.5% cpu, this is low, very low. One of those
systems is for djgpp and also supports other sounds being played at any
frequency and volume you want, together with you mod or s3m, etc.
It is called "The sound blaster library for DJGPP 2"
I know you can't use libraries in Euphoria, but this one is freeware
and you could make an interrupt base interface (one interrupt to initate
some status addres) and have the program also install an clock-interrupt
which checks the state and acts. The only problem would be to uninstall
these interrupts and this piece of code when Euphoria craches (ie abort
your program with an error message)
Maybe some IBM-PC Guru's here have an answer to that problem...??

A lot of mod-players can "play" to a wav-file, for example: mod4win,
a shareware version is available everywhere (just search using Excite)

Hello,
Do you know how to link DJGPP stuff with Euphoria, I suppose you
should be able to get assemble output but I can't find out how.
Thanks :).
