; SET_CLIK : A program to set the key click count on the COMPAQ

; This program sets a parameter in the ROM BIOS data area of the COMPAQ
; which is used to determine the duration of the tone generated when a
; key is struck. The parameter is stored at 40:6A. A default value
; of 1 is set by the bootstrap code in the COMPAQ. A value of zero
; turns off the tone completely. A value of 70H generates a fairly loud
; tone, and larger values don't appreciably change it. SET_CLIK looks
; for a decimal number on the command line to store at 40:6A. If it
; doesn't find one, it stores the value set for the parameter DEFAULT.
;
; To build SET_CLIK :
;
; 1. Select a value for DEFAULT and assemble SET_CLIK.
;
; MASM SET_CLIK;
;
; 2. Link SET_CLIK;
;
; LINK SET_CLIK;
;
; 3. Convert SET_CLIK.EXE to SET_CLIK.COM;
