Here's an idea for installbeep:  How about letting it do what the title
makes you think it does?  Namely, installing a beep.  A nice, simple,
non-digitized beep.  It might be nice to include it as an option,
thereby letting the user save some ram.  (duration,  volume, and pitch
as options, perhaps?)

Lest this reply sound sarcastic, I really do like the program, and it's
in my startup-sequence.  I've just had some trouble finding appropriate
sound samples.  What sound *should* your text editor make when you goof?
A gunshot?  Explosion?  Scream?  Theme to Star Trek?  "I'm sorry Dave,
but I can't do that"?
