Hello all.

This is an announcing for all of those that have already been waiting
on the release of my code for multiplexing one  MPEG 1 Audio  and one
MPEG 1 Video Stream   into a  MPEG 1/SYSTEMS  multiplexed data stream
according to the ISO/IEC 11172-1 specs.  Sorry for all of those  that
needed the code really bad and kept mailing me on it. I couldn't hold
my promises because of copyright release on part of the University.

But here it is: I uploaded the source code on

URL=ftp://hpsystem2.informatik.tu-muenchen.de//pub/comp/graphics/mpeg/mplex/mplex-1.0beta.tar.gz                        ]          ]
    [131.159.0.198]
    ftp.informatik.tu-muenchen.de

.gz means it is compressed with GNU zip. Should somebody not have it,
you can find it on our FTP server under

   /pub/comp/gnu/gzip/

else, just try

   get mplex-1.0beta.tar.Z

Our FTP server will do an on-the-fly-compressing with the 'compress'
(.Z) format.


Now to the code itself:

I have been kept really busy with my papers on multiplexing (they will
shortly be available on the FTP server also, I will post on that),  so
sorry if I couldn'g tighten the code up a bit.  There is no real docu-
mentation yet, please try out the code.  Feel free to email me for any
further questions.

As of now, this code will only run under standard UN*X-Style platforms
providing a (K&R-Style) C compiler (GNU CC is fine). It tested fine on
SUN's, HEWLETT PACKARD's series 700, SILICON GRAPHICS machine's.
There is * NO DOS PORT AVAILABLE (YET) *.

Contact me if you are planning such a thing.

There will be better releases, and I promise to clean up the code soon.

:)

This Software is released under the terms of the GNU public license,
see the tar archive for further details. Feel free to archive the code
on other FTP servers or post it to newsgroups, if there is such
interest.
