Actually, the PC speaker is specific *to the PC*, not to DOS and Borland C++. 
 One can compile DOS programs to manipulate the PC speaker using compilers 
other than Borland C++, and PC operating systems such as OS/2 provide system 
calls such as DosBeep which, being system calls, are independent of the C/C++ 
compiler -- or even the language -- used.
Whilst, regrettably, there is a lot of traffic in this echo generated by 
newbies that is highly specific to DOS and Borland C++, that isn't the case 
for *all* newbie questions.
