The Silent Treatment

Abstract

Usually, the assorted beeps and tones coming from your computer's speaker are useful warnings or alerts. However, in the case of an otherwise useful program (read game), the programmer may have been carried away with the ability to make clever noises come out of the PC's speaker. As it happens, there is a way to make an irritatingly audible program shut up. Using DEBUG, you can alter the code of the program so that the program won't issue commands to the speaker at all.
