Modified Files:
	libwinsound.tex 
Log Message:
Take a tour of hell's seedier neighborhoods to try to make winsound.Beep()
do something non-useless on Win9X boxes.  WinME unknown to me.  Someone with
NT/2000 make sure it still works there!

    Beep the PC's speaker.
    The \var{frequency} parameter specifies frequency, in hertz, of the
!   sound, and must be in the range 37 through 32,767 (\code{0x25}
!   through \code{0x7fff}).  The \var{duration} parameter specifies the
!   number of milliseconds the sound should last.  If the system is not
    able to beep the speaker, \exception{RuntimeError} is raised.
!   \strong{Note:}  Under Windows 95 and 98, the arguments are ignored;
!   if the system has a sound card, the system default sound is played
!   (typically \file{ding.wav}, or whatever is registered as the default
!   sound via Control Panel -> Sounds); else (no sound card) the
!   standard system beep.

!   \strong{Note:}  Under Windows 95 and 98, the Windows \cfunction{Beep()}
!   function exists but is useless (it ignores its arguments).  In rhat
!   case Python simulates it via direct port manipulation (added in version
!   2.1).  It's unknown whether that will work on all systems.
