	I may be asking a stupid question, but my interest in soundfiles
was nil until quite recently.  Now, however, I am heavily interested in
getting more interesting system beeps from my SE.  I have several questions:

	I have heard at various times about a CDEV called CheapBeep.  Is it
a CDEV?  Does it work on an SE?

	The ideal dialog beep replacer would actually respond differently to
requests for one, two, or three beeps.  Is this a function of the SystemBeep
trap (or whatever it's called) that beep replacers replace, or is it some
routine hidden inside the ROM and accessed directly by Alert() and its
variants?  (I don't have my IM at work to look in...)

	If CheapBeep doesn't work on an SE, what does?

	Finally, is there a startupsound randomizer similar to the various
startupscreen and desktop randomizers around?

					Thanks all....
