I don't care who wrote the MOD engine - it's good, and I'll leave it
at that.

The sound quality is IMHO better that soniqTracker but about the same
as MODZap - Sonobox (and ShellPlay) just flubs up on different (and
fewer) MODs.

: As I said, Tony never said he wrote the engine from scratch.  Actually, Tony
