Known issues
- IT2AGI uses only the first three channels of an Impulse Tracker file. These are mapped to the three voices of the PCjr sound chip.
- IT2AGI doesn't (yet) support changing tempo or speed in the middle of the song. Don't try this, as it will be cruelly ignored.
- Volumes aren't supported either, yet. They will be in the next version. For now, everything is played full blast.
- Finally, AGI is very limited in what it can do. If AGI doesn't support something, IT2AGI most likely doesn't either.

Many thanks go to Lance Ewing. Not only did he write the AGI Sound specification, enabling me to write this program, I also stole a formula off his ROL2SND program. So, thanks Lance!
