morse code beeper

[danielsmusic]

i have written a program that can beep out any text (A to zero) in mouse code and would like to share it, i don't mind what you do with i. it won't sell for much but if you want, to go ahead.

Works prety good.Nice one

This DOS app still runs in XP.


You shod go to Visual Basic or C to make programs for Windows.

Hmm, seems like it doesn't work with CAPITAL letters :lol:

Please be quiet and not let all the cats know of this code(long click, short click, double-click, drag....) or else....

 

[danielsmusic]

it is not a dos app, this app is desined for windows xp only(may run on other operating systems as well)

yea i didn't protect against bugs, so if you put a invalid charicter in it will just bring that error msg that windows xp brings up.

i wrote it in microsoft visual c++

That's hardly 'protecting against bugs', it's a serious bug you've written in to it - it's also trivial to fix (which is how you should have done it in the first place), simply convert all characters to lower case.

It's a nice simple program, and very easy to do, essentially just a lookup table.

Wouldn't squeaking be more appropriate than beeping?

PS Has this been approved by Benjy mouse and Frankie mouse?

That depends on your motherbard(Becose the circuit that drives the internal speaker in there.).My make soft and easy to listen to beeps.Whith some Sqick realy high pitch noises.Mostly old PCs make such sqiling sounds.

Which again points to the fact it's a DOS program, and not a Windows one. If it was a Windows program you'd use the soundcard, not the motherboard beeper.

That program is a Win32 console application, it wouldn't run under pure DOS! :twisted:

No, I know it wouldn't, but it's not a Windows program either! - but presumably it would compile under DOS and run?.

If you compile it in DOS compiler then yes. But he said he used Visual Studio and that makes it WIN32 application even if it isn't using Win GUI.

If you doubt me, read this. It's a part of header of that program:

This program cannot be run in DOS mode.

:twisted:

I don't doubt you, in fact just above I said that I know it can't run under DOS - but it's not really a Windows application either - just a Windows 'bodge' of a DOS program.

Yes, it's using old DOS interface....
