Not totally related, but on Win9x, windows ignores the arguments to
Beep.  On WinNT and 2K, however, windows actually adjusts the sound
according to the arguments.

It works on this Win2K system.

This also works.  It only gives the default beep, with no
customization (obviously).


Are your speakers on?  Are they plugged in?  Do you have the proper
driver for your sound card?  Sure, they're stupid questions, but it is
easy to overlook something :-).  Make sure that other things (ie
WinAmp) can play sound.
