Documentation for version 1.0, on September 12th, 1991
by Bruno Costa
WARNING
Although this program is freely distributable (see COPYRIGHT below), I
would appreciate if you take the time to write me a line or two (E-Mail
please) if you are using any of my programs or if you have any kind of
ideas or suggestions (This is not too much to ask, is it?). If you feel
particularly generous, I would like to receive a disk with any useful
programs you have written, preferrably with source. Thanks!
DESCRIPTION
Beep is a small utility to add an audible error (or attention) bell to
the Amiga. It allows any IFF 8SVX digitized sound to be used as the beep.
Beep works both under WB 1.3 and 2.0.
OPTIONS
usage: Beep [-q | <soundfile>]
You must specify either a sound file or the option 'q'. In the first
case the sound is loaded and the program is installed, freeing the shell.
If later on you wish to remove Beep from memory, use the 'q' option. Note
that to change the current bell sound, you have to first remove the program
and then reinstall it with a new sound file.
EXAMPLES
To install a new audible beep in your Amiga:
> Beep bark.sound
Beep 1.0 - (c) 1991 by Bruno Costa
To change it to another one:
> Beep -q
Beep: handler removed
> Beep boing.sound
Beep 1.0 - (c) 1991 by Bruno Costa
To keep your Amiga silent:
> Beep -q
Beep: handler removed
BUGS
There should be a better way to change the current sound.
A Preferences-like utility for WB 2.0 is being planned.
