- FIXBEEP
- -------
-
- Version 1.10 of 16 March 1987.
-
-
- FIXBEEP is a short, terminate-and-stay-resident utility.
- It changes the tone that the IBM computer produces when it
- beeps.
-
- FIXBEEP is installed simply by typing FIXBEEP at the DOS
- prompt. The program will take one-half k of system memory,
- which is 512 bytes.
-
- After FIXBEEP is installed, your IBM or close compatible
- will not make that annoying, drawn-out, beep. FIXBEEP
- replaces it with a quick, quiet little chirp.
-
- If you want to change the frequency and/or duration of the
- tone that FIXBEEP makes, you can specify command line
- parameters when you start the program.
-
- The /F parameter changes the frequency of the beep. For
- example, typing
-
- FIXBEEP /F1750
-
- would set the frequency to 1750 hertz. To change the
- duration, use the /D parameter. Typing
-
- FIXBEEP /D35
-
- That example would set the duration of the tone to 35
- milliseconds, which is .035 seconds. You can specify both
- options in any order. For example,
-
- FIXBEEP /D200 /F250
-
- and
-
- FIXBEEP /D100 /F4000
-
- are both valid.
-
- FIXBEEP is compatible with almost all other terminate
- and stay resident routines. The video I/O routines are
- rarely intercepted by other TSR utilities, and FIXBEEP
- doesn't do anything that is considered "bad behavoir".
-
- If you find this program useful, please send a small
- contribution. $5 is very adequate... this is a relatively
- straightforward utility. You'll sleep at night knowing
- that you helped an aspiring young programmer!
-
- Thank you very much.
