- It might be neat, but it'd have no effect on SunView or on Open Windows
- (Open Windows calls the appropriate SunView function to ring the bell
- when it gets the XBell request).
-
- If you have MIT X11 source, I think there exist patches to have it play
- a sound file rather than send the "bell on" and "bell off" commands to
- the keyboard.
-
- If you have SunView source, you could hack the "-lsunwindow" shared
- library so that the "win_bell()" function uses the audio hardware; the
- X11/NeWS server is dynamically linked with that library, as are many
- SunView applications, so that'd do the trick. Of course, most people
- don't have SunView source....
