Patch SysBeep2 � System 6.0.1 v1.0 Copyright � 1994 by Eric Shepherd Freeware Patch SysBeep2 is Freeware. You may use as many copies of it as you wish, as many times as you wish, as long as you don�t change it in any way. And you may distribute it as long as you don�t charge more than $5.00 for a disk and/or copy fee and change neither the program nor this documentation, and as long as you include this documentation with the program. Freeware software is copyrighted, which means if you fail to abide by these restrictions, I am within my legal rights to pursue legal action. You have been warned; I do watch for violations of this license. Why Would I Want to Install This Patch? Twilight II includes a configurable option called �Beeping Unblanks.� This option, when enabled, causes all system beeps to unblank the screen if it was blanked. Some people like having this turned on, others do not. And it worked great under System 6.0. But then Apple released System 6.0.1, and, for some reason, the Apple II system software team changed the SysBeep2 call to force the screen to unblank. This renders Twilight II�s option useless. This patch disables that �feature� of System 6.0.1. Installing the Patch To install the SysBeep2 patch, just launch the Patch.SysBeep2 program by double-clicking it in the Finder, or by running it from Applesoft BASIC. You�ll be given some information about the program, then asked to enter the name of the disk you�d like to install the patch onto. Type the disk�s name and the patch will be installed. If, for any reason, the patch can�t be installed, you�ll be asked to try again. Just hit RETURN when asked for the disk�s name to quit the patch program. The next time you boot that disk, the patched version of SysBeep2 will be used.
