(X)CONTROL.ACC download?

I'm trying to get rid of the key press beep of my Atari STE with TOS 2.06, and I by way of screenshots am led to understand an accessory called CONTROL or XCONTROL would help me do that. I have found several disk images that supposedly contain this utility, but my PC doesn't have a floppy drive and I haven't found an Atari application that can write an ST or MSA file to floppy.
Does anyone know of either?

So you don't have a floppy drive for transferring files? Well how about getting yourself a Gotek drive so you'll be able to use those image files?

You can make ST images in Hatari or STeem. Floimg is otherwise good for handling images and files on those.

No problem - glad to be able to help. :)
Oh, it's a known thing - when you use JayMSA, after some of its actions the
menu's look a bit scrambled. It's not a big deal and doesn't affect the operation.
I usually just restart it if/when it does that.
