This is a _bad thing_.  I used to run that win-thingy under 3.1,  and they
warn you in the docs that when it's running,  when it's generating a sound out 
of the pc speaker,  _all other interrupts are disabled_.

This really isn't something you want to do under a multitasking operating
system.  It can screw up all sorts of stuff.

Sound cards used to be a big deal,  but these days you can pick up a generic
cheap unit for around $10-15,  I think I paid $15 for one this past spring,
and it works fine under OS/2.

You should either consider making that minimal investment (or look into
picking up a used one from somebody who's upgrading their system),  or forget
about sounds other than simple beeps coming from the speaker.
