UIDE and Soundblaster emulation (Users)

Happy to hear you were successful in loading your Soundblaster drivers
before UIDE, Ladislav, which is the most reliable way.

Some of my prior drivers did allocate all XMS memory, return it to the
XMS manager, allocate 2 XMS sections of which the second in "high XMS"
was the driver's buffers, then return the first section to the manager.

I did NOT regard this as perfectly reliable, since I cannot know if it
works with EVERY possible XMS manager. Some are not known to me, and
they may have "bugs"! So, the current UIDE makes only one XMS memory
request.

Your scheme IS reliable, and I commend you for finding a way to do it!
