Hiya,

I've been really unproductive the past few months but did manage to
do a quick update on the DMS MOD player stuff I wrote back in
September or so.  You can download it at:

The only real fix is that the pitch sliding commands (Exx and Fxx)
are now active.  The sliding isn't perfect because of timing issues,
but I think the pitch is pretty close.  (Previous version v1.1.0
didn't have Exx and Fxx.)

For those curious about the internals: the old representation used
integers (0..127) to represent the note values (e.g. 48=Middle C).
The code was slightly modified to use fixed-point vectors so that
note values were left-shifted 16-bits.  That should provide the
ability to add in detuning, pitch portamento (Gxx), and vibrato
(Hxx) in the near future.

Until later,
- e!
