Any way to get a wav file to play on a pc speaker? No sound cards allowed
at work!

Yes, but it requires setting up a high speed interrupt, by reprogramming
the system timer. I'm not sure if this will conflict with tick_rate() in
Euphoria. The sound quality will not be very good; effectively 1-bit
mono. Having a high playback rate would also degrade system performance.
But some sound is better than no sound at all.
So I ask the question: should I add pc speaker support to ModWave?

There is a PC speaker audio driver for windows to play wav files. It's locks
up the interupts
so no keyboard or mouse actions can occur while playing audio. I sent a copy
straight to Don.
