Hear! Hear!  Yes!  Si!  Oui!  Da!  I agree 100%  The mod. files are becoming
quite abundant compared to SMUS files.  There has to be some kind of a
synthesized type sound included in the file format so that, when available,
we are not stuck with samples only.  It might be wise to agree on a standard
.mod and song file format because of the variations in each of the successive
ST type programs.  MED can either save .mod files or it's own version of a
mod format.  I think that there NEEDS to be a standard before we take the
plunge.
