- TUNE.COM
-
- TUNE plays one or more of five little tunes. It is useful
- in batch files to give you an audible signal that a process has been
- completed.
-
- INVOKING THE PROGRAM: From DOS command level, type TUNE nnn.x
- where the n's are digits from 1 to 5 representing the tune to play,
- and x is a speed parameter (1=fast, 9=quite slow). For example,
- TUNE 5.1 will play the fifth tune quickly. If you do not specify a
- speed, TUNE will use 2. There is no default for the tune number.
-
- LIMITATIONS: As it uses the IBM PC's audio hardware, TUNE
- is not transportable to any non-IBM-compatible system. Assembler
- hackers may wish to get inside the program to revise the tunes to
- their own tastes.

- WAIT.COM
-
- WAIT is only useful in batch files. It takes about three
- seconds to count down from three before continuing. Thus, it allows
- a user to interrupt a batch file (if, perhaps, an error occured at
- one stage in the batch processing), but will not require attention
- during unattended operation (unlike the standard DOS command PAUSE,
- which will wait forever for a keypress).
