The next update of AudioZap 2.0 will save to rSound format also (yup, I got
permission :) as well as 16+ other formats :)  E-mail me if you want to
register or have registered and wanna make sure I've got my lists in order :)

No.  NT MODs are a substantially different format, with many more tracks than
a ProTRACKER MOD can support.  Conversion to 6CHN/8CHN is a possibility of
course.  You'll lose information no matter what you convert to though, which
is why no convertor exists yet.
