Setting VOLUME to 0 in the vt100.init file doesn't work as it should.
The reason is line 176 in file init.c. The variable p_volume (which
vt100.h causes to default to 64) is reset from vt100.init, only if it
is greater than zero:
case 'v': /*volume*/
if (sscanf(line,"%s %d",scr,&i) == 2)
if (i > 0) p_volume = i;
break;
Simply change init.c, line 176, to
if (i >= 0) p_volume = i;
Now VOLUME can be 0 in vt100.init so that you get a visible (flashing)
"bell".
I still don't understand why I get no audible bell for values of
VOLUME greater than zero. I have compiled with Lattice; perhaps
Lattice has some strange bug no one knows about. Can someone please
try compiling vt100 v2.3 with Lattice to see if they can duplicate
this problem?
