What appears to be the same one is also at wustl in
/mirrors3/archive.umich.edu/msdos/sound, named silence.com.  However,
such programs won't (I assume!?) silence your computer during boot,
which is when mine makes all the noise.  There's nothing for it <sigh>
but to splice in a switch on the speaker wires...
