In the Win32 port of PDCurses 2.4, the beep() function produces only a click. I found this in the PDC_beep() function in pdcurses/pdcutil.c: #if defined(WIN32) /* MessageBeep(MB_OK); */ MessageBeep(0XFFFFFFFF); #endif I switched the comment markers around :-) and found that I got a standard Windows "beep" (Default sound, ding.wav). Does anyone know why it was changed to 0xffffffff? -- William McBrine | http://www.clark.net/~wmcbrine/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Think.
