Yes, Dave, thank you very much for suggesting gnubeep. With gnubeep, I think I'll plan a bit of a surprise for another member of the household who uses the computers. Does anyone happen to know the frequencies and durations for the "Darth Vader" theme from the movies? :-) -- Robert Riches (Yes, that is one of my email addresses.) |

Using gnubeep, the sound comes out of the computer case, no headphones (or speakers fed by the sound card) required. By the way, I wrote my own script for it. When I ran it, my daughter simply said, "Hi, Dad." Oh, well... :-) -- Robert Riches (Yes, that is one of my email addresses.) |
