Hello. Since the sound and beep functions only work under DOS, are there alternatives for Windows, Linux and Mac OS 10? I wrote a countdown timer that I would like to beep a few times when the time is up. Thanks.

Its generally better to use the sound-playing APIs on those systems. Win32lib has playSound() and Beep() for example. It is possible to do a system-speaker beep, but note that some newer computers lack an internal speaker or play it thru the regular speakers at an obscenely loud volume level.
