1.14      mass       13:   (all data-carousels's data must be disjunct, e.g. if the directory
                     14:    directory '/foo' was already defined as a separate data-carousel,

        !            18:       work with multiple data-carousels for some time, sorry...
        !            19:       If you really need updates of ObjectCarousels, please checkout
        !            20:       the version from CVS as it was on 18.07.2004.
        !            21:       Anyway, I will fix that really soon!
1.15      mass       22: 
1.10      mass       23: Each tool's output is a single binary .m2t file, which is a MPEG2
                     24: elementary stream, i.e. a row of successive TS packets including
                     25: pieces of the encoded data.
                     26: 
1.9       mass       27: The project is designed for linux and heavily depends on filesystems

                     29: recognize File-, Stream-, Stream-Eevent objects or LiteOptionsProfiles.
                     30: The tools are well tested and work under Little- and BigEndian systems.
                     31:
