If you are still willing to run the program on MSDOS, see the other
post about packages from Meridian Ada, and try to implement the bodies
using your current compiler (which may already have similar bodies,
but they are NOT standard Ada).

However, if you want to run under Windows, you cannot access the
speaker port directly, and you'll want to use a WAV file anyway. See
the Sounds package in Windex at
