I haven't been able to locate ANY modern player. The wiki link above has a link to adplug which seems to have some sample source code for playing the files, but doesn't actually appear to work with AdPlug.
Format info:
The file extension .PIS is used since the previous incarnation
of Beni Tracker was called "Psychisch Tracker" (unreleased).
Offset Bytes Description
------ ----- -----------
0 1 Song length
1 1 N. of patterns
2 1 N. of instruments
3 ? Pattern map (N. of patterns * 1 byte)
? ? Instrument map (N. of instruments * 1 byte)
? ? Order list (Song length * 9 bytes)
? ? Pattern data (N. of patterns * 192 bytes)
? ? Instrument data (N. of instruments * 11 bytes)
? 4 "B.J." (v1.8 identification mark)
-Pattern and instrument maps
PIS, the intelligent format it is, saves only the
patterns and instruments that are used. The maps
therefor contain for each pattern (instrument) in
the file the number that was used for it during editing.
Eg. if You have this in Your (otherwise empty) order list:
02
04
00
The pattern map, containing the indices of used patterns
in ascending order, will look like this:
ptnmap[0]=0
ptnmap[1]=2
ptnmap[2]=4
Ergo, the maps contain the order in that the patterns
(instruments) are saved in the data blocks below.
-Pattern data format
A pattern consists of 64 * 3 bytes where 3 bytes encode
one note as:
nnnn.... ........ ........
....ooo. ........ ........
.......i iiii.... ........
........ ....eeee eeeeeeee
n = note (0..12) as index into frequency table, 12 is blank
o = octave
i = instrument
e = effect
-Instrument format
An instrument consists of 11 bytes.

To let v1.8 distinguish between module formats. Has absolutely
no effect when loaded in v1.3.
Would be cool if zxtune supported Beni Tracker. Info, file samples and more: http://fileformats.archiveteam.org/wiki/Beni_Tracker_module
