Temporary removal of audible beeping for Windows when compiled with OpenWATCOM.

Bill-Gray · Bill-Gray · commit b23e3640990f · 2026-04-08T22:23:32.000-04:00
At present,  this causes failures because we don't link to winmm.lib
when building with OpenWATCOM.  That,  in turn,  causes AppVeyor builds
to fail.  We need to persuade AppVeyor to build both Windows and MS-DOS
versions of the VT platform,  and to use winmm.lib for the former.
