[edit] What is MikMod?
Mikmod is a module player and library supporting many formats, including mod, s3m, it, and xm. Originally a player for MS-DOS, MikMod has been ported to other platforms, such as Unix, Macintosh, BeOS, and Java(!!)
Mikmod main authors are Jean-Paul Mikkers (MikMak), Jake Stine (Air Richter) and Frank Loemker. Steve McIntyre was the first Unix maintainer, followed by Peter Amstutz and finally Miodrag Vallat.
Unfortunately, since Miodrag Vallat does not have enough free time to work on mikmod theses days, releases somewhat came to an halt. This is why I (Raphaël Assénat) decided to work on libmikmod/mikmod to add new features and bring the project further.
