    CORRECTION: Last month in my review of HyperACCESS/WINDOWS, I stated
    that my only complaint was its failure to beep when a transfer was
    completed. In speaking with Hilgraeve, I found that it will beep.
    The sound comes from the PC Speaker, and emits three beeps. I
    apologize to Hilgraeve for this oversight In multi-tasking with
    other programs that make sound, it was hard to hear the beeps. I
    apologize to Hilgraeve for this oversight.
