details about ModPlayer and NTK creation:
http://roger.trideja.com/newton/modplayer.html
there's now an additional way to get/play MOD files directly on your Newton
w/o using NTK.
my new ModSaver plugin transfers the MOD file via Newt's Cape (http:), and
then creates
a Newton package using NewtPack plugin (also used by Newt's Cape to save
books, and by NewtDevEnv to save apps), or it will just play it directly
with ModPlayer
if NewtPack isn't installed. I've only tested with 'small' MOD files,
and only extracted from .zip files (via the "palmzip proxy") (if anyone
discovers
any good http: sources of raw MODs, let me know the MIME types and I'll add).
