William Tell (sp?)

[thomas_remkus]

I have an application that takes a long time to process. Waiting on other remote systems to do their work. When my application returns I have a bell that goes off several times indicating complete. How can I make different tones of various lengths so I can make something like William Tell (sp?). That's much better than a bell which does get ignored. I want to use the simpliest method possible and hope it's already inside all Windows95 and above. Any help is appreciated.

Beep only has one tone (and duration) on Win95/98 ::)

I'd go for playing a wav/midi file -- of course this requires a sound card, but who doesn't have a sound card??

Darn  :boohoo:. I though it sounded pretty OK with my XP! - Chris  :8)

Thanks everyone!! Shoot, I've been gone for so long I didn't think anyone would remember me. Nice, I can't tell you how good that feels.

I moved from partX of Houston to partY to a much nicer place.

Frankly, work has just been getting in the way of my MASM. I love this community and know that when I want to ask questions to the smartest programmers on the web ... this is where I come. There's no second IMO.
