I have seen several requests for an explanation of how CheapBeep works. Here goes. CheapBeep is a CDEV (control panel device), so in order to use it, you must be using System 4.0 or later. Put CheapBeep in your System Folder. Also, create a folder, put in the appropriate SoundCap/Sound- Wave files you might want as your beep sounds, and place that folder inside your system folder. Reboot your Mac, and select the Control Panel DA. Choose the CheapBeep icon. You will now see that you need to specify the folder where the sound files are. Do so. You should see a listing of the files. Selecting a file and pressing the Enter key will play the file. If it is played at the wrong sampling rate, there are radio buttons that let you adjust the sampling rate. An interesting note - by shift-clicking on the names of the sound files, you can play multiple files for your beep sound. After everything is set the way you want it, close the Control Panel and reboot. Now, your beep sound should be what you selected. I hope this helps. ========================================================================= Robert Hammen Computer Applications hammen@csd4.milw.wisc.edu Delphi: HAMMEN GEnie: R.Hammen CI$: 70701,2104
