Why would you want to convert?
DeliPlayer and WinAmp can play StarTrekker on the PC.

two files.

Two-file StarTrekker4AM mods can still be loaded into a normal tracker (if it's not too fussy about mod format) -- the synthetic samples will not exist, but you can load some other sample that sounds like the synthetic one.
However, the "two file" tunes in the Chaos Engine are actually Richard Joseph / Vectordean format. I remember Buzz and I talking to Richard and he said that he used the Vectordean editor (written by Andi Smithers?), which he doesn't have any more.
So if you want to convert it to a mod, you'll just have to play it by ear -- try playing the mod in Eagleplayer and turning off all the music channels except one, then transcribing that to a mod. Repeat 3 more times for the other 3 channels. You can load the SMP file as a single large sample, then cut out and paste as new samples all the mod samples individually from that.
