Beep 5.0 (19940301) (o) (o)
^
by Stephen D Childers \_____/
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Program Description:
1) Program will cause an audio beep tone.
2) Runs from CLI or Workbench. Can be made resident.
Workbench uses default values.
3) The frequency range is from 20 to 14000 hertz.
4) The waveform data contained within this program is shaped as a
sine wave when generating low frequency tones (20 - 450 hertz).
The sine wave will cause the tones to sound soft.
The waveform data will tend to become more of a square wave as the
frequency increases towards its high limit.
5) Program (when run from CLI) will interact with the 'c:Why' command
after program failures; this command may provide a more detailed
explanation of why the program failed.
The 'Why' command should be used immediately after a program
failure to extract the last program's result code, because
that result code is changed upon the execution of the next CLI
command.
6) Certain error reports will contain the name of the argument, file,
device, (etc) that is associated with failure when it occurs.
