Version:      0.4   (05 Nov 2000)
Architecture: m68k-amigaos

Introduction:

 - MpegAnalys-r scans a whole Mpeg (all types supported) and
   displays any errors regarding the framesize or header.


Disclaimer:

 - Use at your own risk! I cannot be held responsible for
   any damage it may cause, either to hardware or to software.


Requirements:

 - Should run on almost every Amiga with installed ixemul.library.


Installation:

 - After extracting the archive, just copy the executable anywhere
   you want it (I recommend to put it somewhere in your path, e.g. sys:c)


Usage:

 MpegAnalys-r <File> [infolevel]


Required parameter:

  <File>                  - any Mpeg audio file,
                            if the filename contains spaces, it must be
                            enclosed in braces like this: "Hello World.mp3"

Optional parameters:

  [infolevel]             - a number from 0 to 2, which specifies the amount of
                            displayed information, 0 is default when omitted.
                             0: only errors are displayed and a short summary,
                             1: number, position and status of each frame is displayed,
                             2: like 1, but additionally Mpeg id, layer type,
                                bitrate and frequency is shown for each frame

Examples:
MpegAnalys-r music.mp3       (only shows errors and summary)
MpegAnalys-r music.mp3 2     (displays most detailed information about each frame)
MpegAnalys-r "Hello World.mp3" 2   (same like above but with space in filename)
