[comp.sys.next] Mail Audio Announcement - A Tip

tvz@phoenix.Princeton.EDU (Timothy Van Zandt) (01/30/91)

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).
