Description: 
	
	View mpeg-1 audio and video multicast rtp streams.
		
	Writing an mpeg video/audio decoder library is beyond the scope of this
	project. Given more time and more programmers, it certainly is a 
	possibility. This is just a hack for unix systems to be able to recieve
	content that is pumped out by Cisco's IPTV Server.

Requirements:

	mtvp 
		this is a very good and fast command line mpeg player. 
		The mtvp binary is freely available for private noncommercial 
		use from :
		http://www.mpegtv.com/

	mpg123
		this is a free mpeg layer 1,2,3 audio player for unix os's.
		check it out at: http://www.mpg123.de/

	mtvp and mpg123 need to be in your PATH . 
		
Installation:
	
	Untar the package. 
	To compile mim:
		
		cd mim-1.0.9/mim/
		cp Makefile.platform Makefile
		make mim

		or
	
		cd mim-1.0.9/mim/
		make -f Makefile.platform mim	
			
	Make sure to check the Makefile for sanity in the context of your 
	environment.	

	To compile xmim:

		cd mim-1.0.9/xmim
		cp Makefile.platform Makefile
		make xmim

		or
	
		cd mim-1.0.9/xmim/
		make -f Makefile.platform xmim		

	
Running:
	
	MIM
	
	Currently this is a command line program.
	
	"mim -u" or "mim" will give usage info
		
	XMIM 
	
	Requires the gtk/glib libraries installed. This comes with a simple GUI
	which integrates an sap listener. Point and click.
