Thanx for the prompt reply. I have DLed your program and will be
putting it through the torture test. :-) I also appreciate the source
code as I have been looking for examples so I might use MODs in my own
programs. 

MOD would be a great new IFF music standard if we could get Commodore
to sit down and standardize it. It shouldn't be too difficult and it
shouldn't take much modification to the current music programs already
out (SoundTracker, Star Tracker, Noise Tracker, and more recently
Power Tracker) to at least get them to agree to the IFF standard. 

Any new features for a MOD creator program could be submitted to CATS
for approvial into the IFF standard. 

Perhaps this is more work than it sounds like, but it's better than
the crummy .SMUS IIF standard currently out on the Amiga. The Amiga is
noted for it's sound abilities and I have yet to see any music
program short of some MIDI stuff that really makes the Amiga shine
like the MOD writers do. 

Perhaps someone at Commodore can speak up on the subject and perhaps
offer a way to submit it to the powers that be for consideration?
