	Actually, the best two MOD players currently available would be
shellplay and Beatbox. These give the absolute cleanest sound output and 
best support for handling of effects. If I want to listen to a music 
module, I don't even consider using anything else. (Btw, "Sonobox" NDA 
seems to be a ripped version of shellplay, but distorts certain effects 
and the volume-control function shuts down some oscillators I find).

	Of course shellplay requires a shell program (ie, Orca, GNO) and
Beatbox seems to require 2MB RAM and at least two 800K drives, which is
probably the reason many people continue to use MODZap, soniqTracker and
NoiseTracker GS. These are _very_ nice in their own respect, but pale
when compared to the others.
