Using SBSIERRA

Troubleshooting

[1] : Check your BLASTER environment, if it is not correctly set, SBSIERRA
      won't patch the game. Typical BLASTER environmentfor a SBAWE64,
      type : SET BLASTER=A220 I5 H5 P330 E620 T6
[2] : You should have a file named SNDBLAST.DRV	in your	game directory.
      If you don't, the	game you're trying to patch either works with
      AUDBLAST.DRV (which a newer version can be downloaded from Sierra) or
      works with ADLIB emulation (select ADLIB from the installation program).
[3] : If you did copy your game from a CD, the SNDBLAST.DRV file may be
      read-only. To remove it, type : ATTRIB -R SNDBLAST.DRV

[4] : Your sound Card HEX port address is not 0x0220 and you've got a
      problem because I didn't implement support for those cards...
      Only IRQ is fixed	this version, please contact me if you really
      need an improved version of this patch.
