In <5671@idunno.Princeton.EDU> I asked how to get sounds play to announce the arrival of new mail. Solutions were described in <5705@idunno.Princeton.EDU> <SCOTT.91Jan28115931@sage.uchicago.edu> <SCOTT.91Jan29075725@sage.uchicago.edu> To implement any of these, you must choose to be a Public Sound Server in the Unix menue of Preferences.

I'd like to add my voice to the chorus who'd like more flexibility in this "Public Window Server" and "Public Sound Server" uh, stuff. Unix devices with standard permissions and chowned to the console user would do just fine. And one for the pasteboard, while you're at it (at ignoring me, that is). -- Steve Dorner, U of Illinois Computing Services Office Internet: s-dorner@uiuc.edu UUCP: uunet!uiucuxc!uiuc.edu!s-dorner
