(#). whats this?
===--===========

With 'this' You are able to crop Your huge mpeg audio files, without
the need to reencode them. The whole thing is made in Arexx and doesnt
require any external programs to work. Its also NOT the slowest solution
available on the net!


basic features:

               - uses start and stop markers in seconds or in 'min:sec'

               - auto adjusts read buffer, giving always maximum speed

               - recognizes MPEG-1,2,2.5/I,II,III

               - works with constant bitrate mpegs (VBR unsupported!)

               - can be used on any Amiga and even on non-Amiga platforms



(#). history
===--=======

04-Feb-2006   v1.00 - initial version

14-May-2006   v1.01 - argument line changes

27-Nov-2006   v1.02 - rewritten to be independent from any shell proggies +
                      added some new things
                      
07-Dec-2006   v1.03 - thanks to 'Darek' for his very valuable feedback,
                      so that scanner works now in a different way
                      giving much less error probability when detecting
                      mpeg specs. it is now required to collect 10 exact
                      frame headers in 32k buffer to pass the scanner.
