Introduction
************

   The MikMod sound library is an excellent way for a programmer to add
music and sound effects to an application. It is a powerful and
flexible library, with a simple and easy-to-learn API.

   Besides, the library is very portable and runs under a lot of
Unices, as well as under OS/2, MacOS and Windows. Third party
individuals also maintain ports on other systems, including MS-DOS, and
BeOS.

   MikMod is able to play a wide range of module formats, as well as
digital sound files. It can take advantage of particular features of
your system, such as sound redirection over the network. And due to its
modular nature, the library can be extended to support more sound or
module formats, as well as new hardware or other sound output
capabilities, as they appear.
