After wading through seven long C++ source files and commenting out everything
that wasn't directly related to the MOD player, I discovered why my program kept
crashing with a segmentation error.  Part of the bad code went like this:

if (pointer == NULL)            //This should have been a    !=    comparison
  free(pointer);
pointer = malloc(size);         //A misnamed parameter made this size zero
memcpy(pointer,data);        //Writing to a non-existent buffer (DUH!)

With this corrected, the MOD library works like a champ in my game.  Someone had
asked a while ago for a good MOD playing library for DJGPP, so I want to highly
recomment this one.  It was written by Joel H. Hunter and can be found at:
