SYMPTOMS
The Aldus Freehand version 3.1 installation program beeps several
times after each disk under Windows NT.
CAUSE
This occurs because Aldus Freehand 3.1's installation program calls
the MessageBeep(0) application program interface (API) functions
several times in a row when prompting for the next disk. On Windows
version 3.1, each MessageBeep call results in a very short tone, so
several MessageBeeps calls in a row sound like a longer tone. On
Windows NT, each MessageBeep emits a longer tone, resulting in several
clear beeps.
