  Jim is presumably referring to the PC speaker beep, which is often still a
little piezo squawker inside the pc's case somewhere.  I have this vague
memory that cygwin used to use it back around 1.3.x, but maybe it's
something in 'doze that controls whether you get a real piezo bleep or a
.wav file played through your sound card that has changed in my setup since
those days, so I really dunno.

    cheers,
