Re: [Poll] Sound support feature in vDos-lfn for XyWrite

[James Woolley woolleyj@xxxxxxxx]

Hi Wengier,
Thanks for asking. I'd prefer to have speaker=on as the default, but
I don't feel at all strongly about that.

By the way, I hear the Nota Bene error beeps with vDosXY 1.0.
You probably know that in Nota Bene (v.3, at least), the user can set
the default pitch and length of an error beep.
