I also am very satisfied with the .MOD support in the DLL version.

However, I hate DOS4G (bloated), so I use the .DLL version of MPXPLAY reluctantly. I wonder if there's any possibility of compiling the in_mod.dll code directly the non-DLL version of MPXPLAY? Or would that be impossible?

Also, I would support the software MIDI emulation, but I know it's *very complicated* to implement. Never did have a GUS or any hardware wavetable synth soundcard back in the day, so I guess I missed out on the whole MIDI craze. I loved all the MODs, .S3Ms, etc though!

Also, I really, really wish for .SID emulation. Like the old SIDPLAY for DOS, but with MPXPLAY, most modern sound-hardware could play those wonderful C64 SIDs. I would think the implementation of SID emulation would be much easier than software MIDI emulation!

Just wanted to thank mpxplay for all his hard work and excellent support of the Inow, sadly, very small) DOS community.

How maby of us DOS-ers are left? Probably only some 100's in the entire world. Could it be as high as 1000's? I do hope!
