Mpecker Drop Decoder Version 1.2
Copyright © 1997, 1998 Rafael W. Luebbert - All Rights Reserved

Updates when released are available at http://www.anime.net/~go/mpeckers.html

What is this Program?
---------------------
Very simply, it is a program to automatically convert any mpeg-1 or
MPEG-2 LSF layer 1, layer 2 or layer 3 audio file into an AIFF file.
It should correctly recognize and decode all mpeg audio files, and special
routines have been added to skip SWA non-standard headers.
This file is for PowerPC MacOS machines only.
How Do I Use It?
----------------
Simply drag your mpeg audio file onto the icon and off goes the program.
Have lots of disk space handy, as each minute of audio can occupy as much
as 10 MB of disk space!
The decodes are placed in the same folder as the original unless you specify
otherwise. To change the destination, double click on the icon and a preferences
menu will appear. You can also change the creator type here as well.
