Yes, Yes, and Yes again :-) I've done a lot of DOS pascal & asm coding in the past including my own xm/mod/s3m player. Unfortunately I'm only a newish convert to c and i might be a bit slow there, but converting pas/asm -> c shouldn't be a problem. I would love to help with a port, in fact I was planning on writing an editor myself from scratch using svgalib as the music partner in my demo group was complaining about the current linux-sound-editors. so feel free to mail me in this regard.
