COMD-

   I am FAIRLY new to games programming and DJGPPv2, but so far I'm
having a wonderful time with it.  I have two questions concerning the
mikmod library that maybe some of you can answer to save me a little
time.

   I want to play XMs and WAVs .. I know mikmod handles the mixing of
this.  So that's cool.  What source, libs, and headers do I need to do
this?  (the minimum amount needed to compile into a program).. 
   And my last question,.. I must use the virtual timer to keep the
XMs playing in the background, right?  Could someone help me out with
this, either by explaining how that works or showing source code where
you have an XM player using the virtual timer (so that
the code can switch graphics modes, wait for input from the user, etc,
while the same XM is playing), or pointing me to some mikmod-newbie
webpages or FAQs.

   Thanks very much!  and thanks to DJ Delorie and the rest who've
made DJGPP available.
