talking lilo prompt?

[Jim Wantz]

Hi William,
I guess when I read Doubletalk PC, I translated it to Doubletalk LT.  I'm
afraid I can't give you any more guidance than Chuck did, running a card
makes things a little more difficult in this regard.  Incidentally, I have
written a beeper program that writes directly to the PC speaker, but it
wouldn't work at the Lilo prompt because it still depends on system calls.

My next step is to rewrite it so that it will use the PC speaker device
driver, or maybe even the sound card if any.
