I have a java application that beeps using the
statement - System.out.println((char)7);
Recently this application changed so that it no longer is started from a bat file, therefore has no dos window. As a result, it doesn't beep anymore. Is there another way of accomplishing this?
Thanks,
Barry

Getting someone to think and try something out is much more useful than just telling them the answer.

Interesting. It works fine on my machine. I even used it in my SCJD assignment when a user input a non-digit into a text box. What OS are you using?
