Three options are available:
BEEP - A short beep. Signifies a noteworthy event, such as error, or
end of processing.
ALERT - Series of pulsing, insistent sounds patterned after Star Trek
red alert. Use for serious warnings of major dangers.
TAKEOFF - Long, rising pitch, like a falling bomb or rocket takeoff.
Signifies build to a climactic event.
Invoked at DOS level by typing "SOUND [option]", e.g.
SOUND ALERT SOUND B SOUND takeoff
Case is not significant, and only first letter of the option is necessary.
Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
