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.
