+This is the Extended Module Player, an open source module player for UNIX
+distributed under the terms of the GNU GPL. xmp currently runs on several
+platforms, including ALSA, OSS (for Linux on i386 and Alpha and FreeBSD),
+BSD, SunOS, Solaris, S/Linux and HP-UX. On PC class machines with GUS or
+AWE cards xmp takes advantage of the OSS sequencer to play modules with
+virtually no system load. Using software mixing, xmp plays at rates up to
+48 kHz in mono or stereo, 8 or 16 bits, signed or unsigned, little or big
+endian samples with 32 bit linear interpolation.
+
+The current version of xmp supports many Amiga and PC module formats
+(including packed, Powerpacked and SQSHed modules) -- currently 47 known
+formats.
