PC Speaker Beeps

I saw a function a while back which allowed you to chose the pitch of a pc speaker beep (and length)
it was something like this:

beepyOn(pitch);
sleep(1);
beepyOff();

can anyone tell me if there is an ansi function for this
(i don't want printf("\a") because it doesn't let me chose a length)
or if there is a non-ansi function that is available on djgpp

sound(frequency);

to turn off the speaker call nosound();

they arent standard but I think djgpp has them in pc.h

edit:
and for the length that you want just put a delay() in between ther sound() and nosound().

int Sound4delay(int frequency, int delay)
{
sound(frequency);
delay(delay);
nosound();
return 0;
}

It does, thanks. :cool:

but now i can't get delay(1000) working.

and sleep() is in seconds on gcc.

grrr.

might be to do with win2k, because delay works fine on my win98se machine

sound, delay and nosound dont work in Borland C++Builder
(hey basic scores a point here with BEEP)

i suppose you could write the sound functions in assembler and call them if you really need to.

Yeah I was just making a morse code thing in my bottomless pit of savage, eye-watering boredom.

another problem:
i want my program to play some music using the pc speaker sound. i am using win2k and djgpp and i want something like C-D-E-F-G-A-H-C in different lenghts - is there a way to do this?

Mutt dos library has a function just for that, too bad djgpp uses such weird assembly or you could use it :)
