YEah did that on a dos box that had the bbs in it which had
both sound card and speech card for awhile.  Especially
during daytime events when I might be working on the other
machine.

YEp, that's a lot of what I did, event exits with binkley
used the command line audio player.  USed it to cue sound
effects during productions at the studio too, get this, with HOrst's waittime
on a couple of occasions.

This one has no sound card though, and I don't have that
command line .wav and .voc player anymore.

Regards,
           Richard
