Yup, I wrote a system for this and it works okay---some tempo probs.
Write me for the latest version of it where I actually fixed the
pitch sliding.  :)  (tenchi@shell.jps.net)

You will need to convert your MOD to an S3M format.  Why?  Because
it seemed to be the most common ground somewhere between the ProTracker
and IT/XM formats.  I suggest using Impulse Tracker to handle the
conversion to S3M.

The main things not yet supported are certain effects like portamento
(Gxx), vibrato (Hxx), and appregio (Qxx?).  There's other stuff in
it like enabling hardware reverb and resampling your instruments to
save space/re-tune them.

I'm using DMS in a group project right now and it seems to hold up
pretty well.
