Re: PC Sounds from AS/400

[AlanPruitt@xxxxxxxxx (Alan Pruitt)]

It's the As/400 thats giving the error in the emulation window.  Right now its a
DDS record format that appears as a window on the display.  The error is coming 
on the display before the HLLAPI application is being ran.  The boss is 
thinking that
there is someway we should be able to trigger a .wav file.  I'm not sure
of any simple way, but what do I know.  Any help is greatly appreciated.  If I
dont respond for a few days, I am taking a few days off. TIA     

Eric responds:

     Any suggestions, TIA.
