Uxcook 2.0.1 by Ben D Canning (bdc@bethany.edu)

--

  I found a fairly serious error in Uxcook 2.0.0 so I'm putting this out to
  tide everyone over until the next release (which will include batch mode,
  overwriting, and all sorts of nifty enhancements).

  Uxcook is a Unix/Linux program that does the exact same thing as DeTox
  Uncook95 for DOS/Windows.  Uxcook was originally written by Mike Epstein and
  he recently turned maintainorship over to me because I rewrote his version
  when it wouldn't compile on my Linux box properly.  Uxcook is free for use
  and modification under the terms of the GNU GPL.

  The 2.0.x series has changed as follows:
    - buffering added (4x speed increase)
    - code cleaned up and modified so it would compile properly on Linux

  See the CHANGES file for more information and read TODO for what I'm
  planning on adding soon.

  Oh yeah, Uxcook is at least twice as fast as the fastest similar utility.
  Even under DOS.  Not bad, huh?

  Ideas were contributed by Mike Epstein.  The basic algorithm was described
  to me by both Mike and Andrew Bent (the author of DeTox).  Special thanks
  must also go out to the author of Uncook95, John Tesoriero.

  This is the only documentation for Uxcook.  Sorry.

  Uxcook's homepage is:

  Installing Uxcook is easy.  If you got the normal source archive, then
  follow these steps (we'll assume your're under a Unix variant):

      % gzip -d uxcook-2.0.X.tar.gz
      % tar -xvf uxcook-2.0.X.tar
      % cd uxcook-2.0.X/
      % make

  If you're a perfectionist, you can edit the Makefile yourself.  Right now, a
  lot of heavy optimizations are turned on.  There is an alternate CFLAGS that
  will not use any flags except `-Wall' to display errors and warnings.

  Then just put uxcook-2.0.X/uxcook into your path somewhere (or install in in
  a global path as root).

--

  Execution of Uxcook is also easy.  Everything is specified on the
  commandline.  The syntax is:

      uxcook infile outfile

  `infile' is the cooked MP3 that you want to fix.
  `outfile' will be the fixed MP3.

  At this time, Uxcook does not allow overwriting of files.  There will be an
  option added later to allow it, but for now, don't write to existing files
  'cuz it won't work.

--

  As noted, this program is available at no cost.  I'd really like it if you
  told me what you thought of it, though.  And maybe you could send me a nice
  MP3 that I don't have :).  I like classic rock a lot (hint, hint).
