Well, how's this:  The source code is Public Domain.  It is all in
8086 assembley, but it is heavy commented, and the module stuff, the
bulk of the program is about half or better macros.  I would be happy
to assist one or more Mac or C programmers to port it.  One caviat, 
though.  The Mac has a far slower screen update than the PC in character
graphics mode, which MusicBox uses.
