I tried the very fisrt version of a ??tracker at some point. The performance
of the music is exceptional but I had no doc and it took me a while to get
it to even play one of it's own modules....

SO I have to chuckle at "without wondering" above. 8^)

SO howabout describing MED and how to use it. I'll assume the perfomance is
good. If I get a picture that gives me a handle on it's functionality and
use I will be glad to send Teijo more than a $.

Above and beyond its use for encapsulating "modules" and playing these
modules,iwhcih I will buy MED for,
are there "run-time player-only's", Includable drivers, etc
for use of "modules"in programs, etc.

Didn't someone patent CRT color mechanism?
