- ModPlay uses the direct mode of the SoundBlaster to play music, it probably
- doesn't work too well in a multi-tasking enviroment. A program I used,
- called WOW II, uses double-buffered DMA routines to play modules and gives
- pretty respectable results. I still prefer an OS/2 based tracker module
- player, anyone working on one? I'll beta-test for you.
