From Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001) [jargon]:

  mod vt.,n. [very common] 1. Short for `modify' or `modification'. Very
     commonly used -- in fact the full terms are considered markers that one
     is being formal. The plural `mods' is used esp. with reference to bug
     fixes or minor design changes in hardware or software, most esp. with
     respect to {patch} sets or a {diff}. 2. Short for {modulo} but used
     _only_ for its techspeak sense.

  mod
       
          1. 
          (module) The filename extension for a sampled music file
          format that originated on the {Commodore} {Amiga}.  A .MOD
          file is composed of digitised sound samples, arranged in
          patterns to create a song. There are .MOD players for most
          {personal computer}s including {Amiga}, {Archimedes}, {IBM
          PC}, and {Macintosh}.
       
          An {IBM PC} will require a {sound card} capable of handling
          digitised samples ({Sound Blaster}, {Sound Blaster Pro},
          {GUS}) and slower {Intel 80386}-based PCs may not be able to
          do anything else while playing a module.
       
          .MOD files differ from .MID ({MIDI}) files in that they
          contain sound samples.  This allows each song to use different
          sounds but it also puts more load on the {CPU} than playing a
          MIDI file, since more data must be processed for each note.  A
          slow CPU would benefit from a sound card with {wavetable
          synthesis} which handles samples instead of the CPU.
       
          Module files come in various formats including .MOD.  Formats
          evolved from .MOD include .S3M, .FAR and .669.  Most contain
          improvements on .MODs.

          2.  modify or modification.
       
          This abbreviation is very common - in fact the full terms are
          considered formal.  "Mods" is used especially with reference
          to bug fixes or minor design changes in hardware or software,
          most especially with respect to {patch} sets or a {diff}.
       
          3.  A common name for the {modulo} operator.

  *MOD
