Format ?  Format ?  You mean LACK OF FORMAT.  The ST/NT module format is
VERY loose.  It took me about 6 months to hone my ST/NT module loader code
for my module player so it plays about 99% of everything I've encountered.

I suppose I should do the world a favor and write a description of all the
insanity one must go though to load a ST/NT module..

Yeah.  The GS would be a pretty good machine to write a ST/NT player on,
considering its sound capabilities.  Much easier than doing so on an IBM
klone.

I suppose I'll start writting that Tfile, and post it here or something.
"when I get around to it" :-)

C'ya,
Jim
