Hi! Richard,

In a message to Bob Klahn you wrote:

Same here, with Windows sound events enabled in this Win98 VirtualBox.  I'm
still using the same .wav files I had in the old WFWG 3.11 back in 1994.

With the events enabled I can tell when my Fido mailer starts the 'tosser'
BATch after a poll, or a scheduled external BATch starts up or quits, even
from two rooms away.  Even outbound mail scans set off a flurry of canned
sounds.

Great fun, still.  :)

Cheers,
Paul.
