[Coco] NitrOS9/BASIC09 equivalent SOUND and PLAY Commands

[L. Curtis Boyle]

SS.Tone (A SetStat call) can be called from BASIC09 with Syscall. If you are running the current NitrOS9 EOU, the GFX2 package also includes ‘Tone’, which will let you play a single not (ex. RUN gfx2(“Tone”,100,6,60), which lets you pick frequency, duration and volume).
