Okay, the program i was thinking of was diff, but I haven't got "diff" working right because when i put in the two files I just got the command line prompt and no info. But I found it anyway!!! You have to be sure to say "y" to "INPUT_MISC" or you'll never see 'INPUT_PCSPKR". SAY Y IF YOU WANT THOSE CONSOLE BEEPS!
