[comp.sys.atari.st] Ringing bells

MEGGIN@vm.epas.utoronto.ca (David Megginson) (12/16/89)

STOOP%KVI.nl@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU asks about bells:

   Looks like the Laser C library is a little screwy (what else is new?).
If you use Cconout(BELL) (#define BELL as 7 - it makes your code more
readable), you can bypass whatever stupidity is going on in your libs.
I don't know if Bconout(2,BELL) will work or not - if it does work, it
will make your bell redirect-proof in TOS programs.

	You can also use GEMDOS function 9 as follow:
	
	   Cconws( "\007" );
