INTRODUCTION
============

Lots of programs for PCs use the internal speaker to play sound.
Occasionally, one of these programs will have an error and will
quit execution while leaving an annoying tone playing on the 
speaker.  These programs will stop any current sounds by resetting
all speaker-related chips to their power-on values.  The NoSound
programs will NOT prevent other programs from starting new sounds.

INCLUDED FILES
==============

NOSOUND.EXE       Version 1.10 for DOS
        Turns off internal speaker under DOS;
        also works under DOS box of OS/2.
NOSOUND2.EXE      Version 1.00 for OS/2 (16-bit)
        Turns off internal speaker under OS/2;
        runs in either window or full-screen session.
        Works with 1.x and 2.x versions of OS/2.

USAGE
=====

To run each program, type the filename (omitting the extension) at the
command prompt.  There are no command-line switches.


CONCLUSION
==========

    I have also written a general-purpose digitized sound player that
    runs on all PCs.  If you are interested in a complete package of
    sound programs, write for more information.  Various programs are
    available on Internet via anonymous ftp at garfield.catt.ncsu.edu.

    If you find any case where these programs do not work correctly,
    please tell me.  Supply all details of the situation, and I shall
    try to fix the problem.

    If you use these sound programs and find them interesting, a donation
    in any amount ($5 suggested) will be greatly appreciated.  If you
    send a donation, I shall send you the latest copy of the software
    (specify disk size).  Please make checks in U.S. dollars payable
    to David T. Chappell.  

    Ray Duncan's book _Advanced_OS/2_Programming_ helped a lot with
    OS/2 development.
