Why Would I Want to Install This Patch? Twilight II includes a
configurable option called ÒBeeping Unblanks.Ó  This option, when
enabled, causes all system beeps to unblank the screen if it was
blanked.  Some people like having this turned on, others do not.  And
it worked great under System 6.0.

But then Apple released System 6.0.1, and, for some reason, the Apple
II system software team changed the SysBeep2 call to force the screen
to unblank.  This renders Twilight IIÕs option useless.

This patch disables that ÒfeatureÓ of System 6.0.1.


Installing the Patch To install the SysBeep2 patch, just launch the
Patch.SysBeep2 program by double-clicking it in the Finder, or by
running it from Applesoft BASIC.  YouÕll be given some information
about the program, then asked to enter the name of the disk youÕd like
to install the patch onto.  Type the diskÕs name and the patch will be
installed.  If, for any reason, the patch canÕt be installed, youÕll be
asked to try again.  Just hit RETURN when asked for the diskÕs name to
quit the patch program.

The next time you boot that disk, the patched version of SysBeep2 will
be used.
