Re: PC Sounds from AS/400

[AlanPruitt@xxxxxxxxx (Alan Pruitt)]

 I agree this would fit the bill, but they seem like good sounds.  Now all I 
need is someway for the AS/400 to trigger these sounds.  Right now the error is
coming up on a 5250 emulation window (DDS) before the HLLAPI application has 
been triggered.  Thanks Danny, if I can find a way to make it work I will see 
where
I can get a copy of this.
