Hi, AKAcastor.

Hmm, the only "mis" here appears to be me mis-remembering - it's a crying *doll*, not a crying *baby*, and the program is only 10 lines long. My goodness I must have had no sticking power when I was younger!

I managed to find the original code, typed it in... no sound. Fixed the 2 typos I'd made and ran it again - sound! Very disappointing sound, but sound!

Now there is a tiny chance the emulation is not quite right, I also entered the gunshot program which (in my emulator, at least) alternates loud and quiet each loop like a funky drumbeat - though I can't see from looking at the program why that would be.

What's Bob rambling on about, you ask?

Perhaps someone with real hardware could do me a solid favour and try these out for me? Pretty please?
