[CLUE-Tech] C programming question

[Dave Price]

I am trying to learn a bit more about C, and have a silly question for
which i cannot find an answer.

My PC does not have a speaker, so \a (terminal bell or alert) does
nothing.  I have written a simple stand alone program that beeps the
soundcard with a short .wav file instead.

Question:  What is the 'right' way to setup this program so that i can
have a single function beep() which i can import into other programs
when desired?

aloha (& TIA),
