C has a sound() function to handle speaker sounds and that even works in
Power C, I think parameters for it are frequency and duration.

I've also taken a look at this code, and while it does seem pretty
portable,
the only part that looked fishy at first was an asm file, but all it
does is
pc speaker sound output.
However, the code's a wash with #defines, #ifdef DOS's and unixes,
djgpp's,
etc. Also, for instance, it sets some hard limits on path lengths. 127
if
it's dos, and 1024 if it's unix. Btw, I'm looking into this with open
watcom, using it's win32 compilers.
Just some thoughts,
Arthur.
