Documentation for version 2.1, on January 16th, 1992

WARNING
Although this program is freely distributable (see COPYRIGHT below), I
would appreciate if you take the time to write me a line or two (E-Mail
please) if you are using any of my programs or if you have any kind of
ideas or suggestions (This is not too much to ask, is it?). If you feel
particularly generous, I would like to receive a disk with any useful
programs you have written, preferrably with source. Thanks!
DESCRIPTION
Bell is a small background program to add an audible error (or attention)
bell to the Amiga. It can be configured to use any IFF 8SVX digitized
sound as the bell, with selectable volume and pitch values, by a separate
preferences module (BellPrefs). Beep should work both under WB 1.3 and
2.0, but BellPrefs works just under WB 2.0.
OPTIONS
usage: Bell (no options)
Bell reads its configuration from the file "ENV:Bell/Preferences.bell".
This is a custom IFF file that contains the name of the file where the
digitized sound is stored, the volume and pitch values to use when playing
the sound, and two flags indicating wheter the sound is to be played or not
and whether the screen is to be flashed or not. This IFF file is
conveniently manipulated and created by BellPrefs, and both programs are
synchronized in the use of the file, so that you normally do not care about
how it is used.
EXAMPLES
To install a new audible beep in your Amiga:
> run >NIL: <NIL: Bell
The line above should be placed in your startup-sequence, so that the
bell is automatically used (with whatever options you saved with
BellPrefs).
To remove Bell from memory, just run it again or send a SIGBREAKF_CTRL_C:
> Bell (or)
> break `status command bell` C
BUGS
None known.
