        it's an impulse tracker module player
        it's coded in C++/x86asm
        it's made for win32
        it's not optimized
        it's features (impm playing,win32!?, dynamix, diskwriter)
        it's bugs (impm ver MUST >= 2.00, volcol unch., set finetune unsup)
        it's this just some kind of prerelease
        it's me having exams
        it's october release of the whole thing (it,xm,s3m,mod,... support)
        it's perhaps useful for someone
        it's fun
        it's usage
           /h       help
           /mXXX    set oversampling factor (def. 1 == no oversampling)
           /vXXX    set number of virtual channels (def. 64)
           /qX      set quality to 2=cubicspline else linear (def. linear)
           /rXXX    set volumeramp duration to (XXX/1000 ms) (def. 1 ms)
           /dX      toggle dynamix 0=off, else on (def. on)
           /fX      toggle resonant filter support 0=off else on (def. on)
           /z       use better quality (2-phase linear) diskwriter (def:off)
           /b[X]    toggle priority boost of mixing thread (0=off) (def:on)
           /iFILEI  play module file: FILEI
           /oFILEO  use diskwriter and write output to: FILEO (frmt: wav)
           /p[X]    toggle sound polling (0=off, else on) (def:on)
           /s[X]    set dynamix speed 0..127, (def:80)

        it's example
           NMPB16 /ig:\media\j1n.it /oout.wav /d1 /f0 /q2 /m4 /v100 /r600 /z

        it's playing "g:\media\jeff93.it" saving output to "out.wav" using 
        dynamix, 2-phase linear diskwriter, disabling resonant filters, with 
        cubicspline interpolation and 4times oversampling using max 100 
        virtual channels and a volumeramp duration of 0.6ms
