- ABOUT SOUND.EXE
-
- SOUND.EXE is a program from the kit, PIECES, by Another
- Company. With PIECES, you can create just about anything for
- IBM-compatible computing. No programming skill is necessary.
- See end of this file for more information about PIECES.
-
- What It Does
-
- SOUND will play a single tone for a specified period of time.
-
- How To Use It
-
- SOUND requires two parameter, an integer representing a
- frequency in Hertz, and an integer representing amount of
- time in milliseconds. 1000 milliseconds equals one second.
- So, to play a middle C for 1/2 second, you would type:
-
- SOUND.EXE 262 500
-
- at the DOS prompt, in a batch file, or in a PIECES script
- file.
-
- Additional Information
-
- SOUND will not change the currently displayed image, and
- works in all video modes. SOUND runs at the same speed on all
- systems from the slowest XT-compatibles to the fastest '486s
- and Pentiums.
-
- See also SOUNDS.DOC and MELODY.DOC.

- About Pieces

- PIECES is a shareware disk containing several small programs
- that can be combined to do a variety of tasks with
- a super-professional look and feel. No programming experience

- electronic catalogs, teaching materials, executable software,
- games, shareware and more are limitless!
- You can register as many or as few PIECES as you wish.
- Registered users are licensed to copy and distribute the
- PIECES along with their finished products. Unregistered

- package, but may not use only portions of it until purchase
- of registration. Use of PIECES beyond 30 days requires
- registration.
- Most shareware PIECES programs have a "unregistered"
- notice which pops up randomly, approximately every 200 times.
- This is removed from the registered versions, and also saves
- as much as 3,000 bytes disk space per program.
