Some important notes :

A)  Although these programs are Public Domain, I retain copyright on ALL 
modules.  You can modify the BASIC file in the ModTest directory ONLY until 
your blue in the face, but you are not  allowed to :

    Modify an modules or programs in the ModConv (without my prior permission)
    Reverse engineer the modules
    Try and pass of the modules as your own 
    Try and sell my modules
You are allowed to copy & give to friends, Romans and fellow country-men
these programs and modules.

B)  The programs in the ModConv directory provide only the bear minimum of
    options, so don't go complaining that they're not user-friendly...

C)  I hope the modules are bug-free, but some may be left in despite some
    heavy updating, so if you find any please let me know.
