 Timed beeps from the PC speaker


How can I beep the PC Speaker several times in a row, and have a small delay between beeps that is reliable across different machines with different clock speeds?   

    The following demonstrates using a delay function that can be used to beep the PC speaker. Example:

    procedure Delay(ms : longint);
    {$IFNDEF WIN32}
    var
      TheTime : LongInt;
    {$ENDIF}
    begin
    {$IFDEF WIN32}
      Sleep(ms);
    {$ELSE}
      TheTime := GetTickCount + ms;
      while GetTickCount < TheTime do
        Application.ProcessMessages;
    {$ENDIF}
    end;

    procedure TForm .Button Click(Sender: TObject); begin MessageBeep(word(- )); Delay(200); MessageBeep(word(- )); Delay(200); MessageBeep(word(- )); end;
