I wrote the above message... boy do I feel silly. :-) Upon further
investigatiion, I don't think MED is doing any tempo correction... but I'm
not absolutely certain.  See below for more silly messages:

Now I loaded 'klisje paa klisje' into MED again, and YES the $03 portamento
has a different sound (i.e. NO sound) when 'kpk' is played in MED.  To hear
that song correctly, you must use Module Master or some other *tracker player.

Actually, I think I only heard the clicking in Module Master.  AS to the
comments that MM seems buggy:  I agree.  It's had memory allocation problems
when I've tried to load another module after a big module.
