=========

I take NO responsibility for any damage caused by this program. Use it on
your own risk. You have been warned.


REQUIREMENTS
============

AmigaOS 2.1 and higher (tested under 3.1 only),
gtlayout.library v45 and higher,
MPEG2 streams to decode, of course


DESCRIPTION
===========

This piece of software was born for DECODING of mpeg2 streams. It is NOT a
player. It decodes MPEG2 streams in a sequence of images. You can save
them in any format you want. The format savers can be written by anybody.
Currently I've written two savers: jpeg and ppm.

This software is based on the work of MPEG Software Simulation Group. 

More info could be found in the guide.

Future plans which were not realised: planed to make changeable GUI like
Miami but I have become nearly blind and was unable to realise it.

Feel free to contact me by e-mail <tumanyan@mail.ru> but please be
patient for reply, because I can not read them myself.
