	Protracker is not that old.  the latest version of it is made this
year March/April.  This version has a nice NoiseTracker-like user interface,
with 6-7 different menus.  I support MIDI, track/song octive-up/down.  It
has equalizer bars like soundtracker;  from what I heard from the author, 
it's the combination about soundtracker and noisetracker;  the best of the
both worlds.  And, it does handle the synthizized sound very well.
Above desc. is addessing to the newer version (V 1.2) of the Pro-Tracker.

	TFMX?  Please describe this product which you think is pretty good.
	(I think I saw an AD about it one time, but didn't know it was
	music related.   Please be more elaborate on this one.  Thank you)

	And... the Mark II sound system.  (does it use the Amiga's internal
voices as well?)
