MPEG System datatype, which is able to play mpeg system stream movies
(system stream = interleved video + audio streams)

animation.datatype subclass.

INTRODUCTION
    Datatypes class for MPEG System movies.

REQUIREMENTS
    - You need at least Kick/WB 3.0.

    - datatypes.library >= V45.3

    - "datatypes/animation.datatype", >= V40.
      "animation.datatype 40.6 (28.09.93)" requires itself some
      libraries/boopsi classes:
    - "realtime.library", >= V39              - for timing
    - "gadgets/tapedeck.gadget" (any version) - for the controls

    - mpegvideo.datatype >= V1.6

    - mpegaudio.datatype >= V1.1

USAGE
    If the datatypes descriptor file was activated, any attempt to load
    a MPEG System stream using GMultiView, MultiView, AmigaGuide or
    SwitchWindow will load and play the movie.

INSTALLATION
    After unpacking this archive:
    Because this version does not include an Installer script, you have
    to do the installation manually through the shell:

      - Unpack this archive and copy the "mpegsystem.datatype" to
        SYS:Classes/DataTypes/:

    Copy CLONE FROM "mpegsystem.datatype" TO
     "SYS:Classes/DataTypes/mpegsystem.datatype"

      - Then copy the datatypes descriptor into the DEVS:DataTypes
        directory.
        If the descriptor already exists, you should not replace it,
        otherwise you may loose "toolnodes" and other settings stored in
        the existing descriptor.

 Copy CLONE FROM "MPEG System(%|.info)" TO DEVS:Datatypes/
