I can play the SEQs using seqplay.bat, but I still get the 'old SEQ format'
message when I try my own code.

The code I'm using looks something like:

standardSounds = SsVabTransfer( ( u_char * ) STANDARD_VH_ADDRESS,
         ( u_char * ) STANDARD_VB_ADDRESS, -1, 1 );

 music = SsSeqOpen( ( u_long * ) seqAddress, standardSounds);

 SsSeqPlay( music, SSPLAY_PLAY, SSPLAY_INFINITY );

which owes a lot to the 'Sound for Dummies' document.

I think the PS complains when I try to open the SEQ i.e. SsSeqOpen().

I'm ready to join a lunatic asylum.
