Hi list, some DGI scripts in Arachne are running without any visual impact and can be followed only on the status line. In some cases it is critical whether a certain operation, eg. copying a file was done successfully or not (cf. the thread on the export scripts). Somebody suggested to insert an extra text screen in between with the information 'file copied' etc., but why not use the PC speaker? Just add a beep at the end of the command in mime.cfg or to the batch file containing the script.
----------------------- Example: 1. With a suitable editor add to the end of the clr.bat the line: echo (that is: ASCII code 7) 2. Start Arachne and press F8 - after clearing cache Arachne will beep. ------------------------- What do you think? Is this kind of aucustic signal a) desirable? b) working on any DOS system? c) independent from hardware?
