Making computer sound a specific tone

[John S. Ford, MD]

I'm familiar with the beep function but is there any function that enables
you to determine the pitch and duration of a tone produced by the computer's
speaker?

The API call to the beep function can accomplish this, but be warned, it
only works on NT-based OS's, NT4, 2000, XP and 2003

For NT systems:

\\\
Private Auto Declare Sub Beep Lib "kernel32.dll" ( _
ByVal dwFreq As Int32, _
ByVal dwDuration As Int32 _
)
