Cool, but why do we need GNO to do this?  Since SP is COMPLETELY interrupt
driven in terms of sound generation, there could be an option to put this
program in "unseen" mode where it doesn't output any text.  Try going to the
CDA menu while a song is playing...the music keeps on playing (even though
the screen is no longer updated).  So, it would be possible to keep a sound
interrupt going until the song is over, and then have that interrupt uninstall
itself.  Hmm, do I see a future version being released? :)

And, where can I ftp Tranzseven.MOD?
