RE: PC Sounds from As/400

Perhaps you can somehow utilize the PC speaker.  You should be able to generate 
several annoying beeps.

Alan,

In a message dated 98-06-12 11:37:10 EDT, you write:

<<snip>>
> What they want is the PC to make, and I will quote the CIO "BAD SOUNDS".
<<snip>>

Is this a technical term that one must have a Master's Degree in IS to
comprehend?  I'm usually discouraged from making "Bad Sounds", particularly
after eating pizza ;-)!

Seriously though, shop floor PC's are rarely equipped to handle the request.
If you're running without a sound card (which most are), you cannot enable an
"event" to generate a sound, AFAIK, unless you wrote the HLLAPI program
yourself.  You might contact the HLLAPI vendor, but I think you may be SOL...

JMHO,
