Ok, I'm wrong.  Even in Beta1 DisplayBeep() can still get inverted.
(I added some semaphores *near* that piece of code, but not quite
*around* that piece of code :^))

Honest Injun', never again.

Please don't dick with the color registers, it is exactly that kind of thing
not being re-entrant that causes this problem in the first place (what if
someone else is beeping the screen?).  Consider the bug reported (beaten
over my head) and By Jiminy, it will be fixed.

Workbench 1.2 doesn't work without Kickstart 1.2, so you need both.  Actually,
to develop anything cool, you need the whole kit-and-kaboodle (libs, incs,
docs, ...).  The deal with that is that all registered developers will
be getting Beta sets, just not as soon as we had expected.  Non-registered
developers might steal a copy from their registered friends (without their
knowledge) and use it and find a channel to get bugs reported back to us.
But that is up to them.
