Good programmers don't comment their code. It was hard to write, should be hard to read.

Yea Beep_ isn't exactly welcomed these days. I don't recommend using it.

I remember this old dos tsr i wrote and installed on the highschool computers back in the day... it made the things beep sporadically... the techs are the school were so PC-dumb (mac peeps) they couldnt figure out what was causing it, so they just unplugged the internal speakers.

As far as the 3d Engine goes. OGRE can do some impressive stuff. Hopefully we'll have an update eventually, but Fred needs to get some other things taken care of before it's updated I'd expect.

You can use the Irrlicht engine which I've ported to PB in a userlib, or just be patient for the OGRE update :D

In some circumstances (i.e. when system resources are compremised like out of memory, broken hardware, etc.) beep_ can be useful.

Depends if the app is solely for himself or others, doesn't it?
Or it could even have been a user request for a custom app.
I compile using 5.31 (x86) on Win 7 Ultimate (64-bit).
