Hi Bob,
life could be so easy if one just knew all those myriad little details
...
Yes, Beep looks very promising. However, when using it I just
discovered that the machine I'm currently at doesn't produce _any_
sounds - strange, I never noticed that it remained silent during
booting.
Ok, I'll get this fixed and then we'll see.
Many thanks.

Oh well, if Beep comes sufficiently close to what I want I won't
bother.
Thanks and best regards
