- {***************************************************
- * This program has a two fold benifit. First, is *
- * to assist when running a time consuming batch *
- * file and I might be somewhere else within *
- * hearing range like in the next room, I would *
- * know immediatly when it finishes. *
- * Last, it gave me a chance to figure out how *
- * load parameters from the command line even *
- * thought it's nothing fancy. *
- * *
- * The parameter choises are as follows: *
- * A = Alarm, a steady bell till a key is pressed. *
- * W = Warning, a pause between each bell till a *
- * key is pressed. *
- * B = Bell, a single bell. *
- * H = Help, gives something like this. *
- * ex. A>BELL B *
- * Only one space between the second L and the *
- * parameter. *
