   First off, I just got a Sound Blaster Pro for christmas and was wondering
if someone would email me, or at least tell me where to get it, the faq that 
tells how to program the sound blaster card.  I remember seeing it here about
2 months or so ago. 

Now for the help part.  I have a really wierd programing bug.  I am writing
my own version of BattleShip. I have always liked that game and have wanted
to try my hand at moving graphics and serial communications.  The code has 
grown quit large so I had to use the medium memroy model on my Turbo C 
compiler.  I am using the medium model becuase the only memory that I am using
right now is array to hold ship locations.  I have not added any communications
code to the program, and all the prgram does is place ships, according to
the array and then wait for more instructions.  I do have a moving sonar up in
one corner.  Now heres the problem.  When I run the program full speed, (i.e.
just like starting you favorite computer game), the program does not draw the
3rd ship. (I have 5 ships being drawn)  I have written in the code a procedure
which dumps the location array to a file every turn, and according to it, the
3rd ship is in there.  Now, I narrowed the problem down to a single procedure
and when I went to trace through the procedure, line by line, it worked just
like its supposed to.  I am completly baffled by this, And don't know
what to do.
Sorry for the lengthy description,  and any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Drew
