Definitions for "Beep"
The "Beep" (also referred to as the SWBLW) is a one-of-a-kind switcher locomotive built in 1970 by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway at its Cleburne, Texas workshops. Technically a rebuild, the Beep (a portmanteau of "Baldwin Geep," whose official designation was derived from "SWitcher, Baldwin Locomotive Works") originally entered service on the Santa Fe as a Baldwin Model VO-1000. Following close on the heels of its highly-successful CF7 capital rebuilding program, the company hoped to determine whether or not remanufacturing its aging, non-EMD end cab switchers by fitting them with new EMD prime movers was an economically viable proposition.
beep does what you'd expect: it beeps. But unlike printf, beep allows you to control pitch, duration, and repetitions. Its job is to live inside shell/perl scripts and allow more granularity than one has otherwise. It is controlled completely through command line options.

A generic application protocol kernel for connection-oriented, asynchronous interactions. Its advantages over HTTP are threefold – firstly,. it is truly peer-to-peer (with HTTP, the client MUST initiate the request, which causes major problems if the server needs to communicate with the client asynchronously), secondly it provides multiple channels over the same connection (HTTP does not), and thirdly it allows higher level "profiles" to define what flows over a channel (HTTP defines the methods (GET, POST, etc.). BEEP was standardized by the IETF Working Group as RFC 3080. A mapping from BEEP to TCP has also been standardized (RFC 3081).
