	mod

   1. 
   (module) The filename extension for a sampled music file
   format that originated on the Commodore Amiga.  A .MOD
   file is composed of digitised sound samples, arranged in
   patterns to create a song. There are .MOD players for most
   personal computers including Amiga, Archimedes, IBM
   PC, and Macintosh.

   An IBM PC will require a sound card capable of handling
   digitised samples (Sound Blaster, Sound Blaster Pro,
   GUS) and slower Intel 80386-based PCs may not be able to
   do anything else while playing a module.

   .MOD files differ from .MID (MIDI) files in that they
   contain sound samples.  This allows each song to use different
   sounds but it also puts more load on the CPU than playing a
   MIDI file, since more data must be processed for each note.  A
   slow CPU would benefit from a sound card with wavetable
   synthesis which handles samples instead of the CPU.

   Module files come in various formats including .MOD.  Formats
   evolved from .MOD include .S3M, .FAR and .669.  Most contain
   improvements on .MODs.
