this package takes the output of 'aatv' <http://n00n.free.fr/aatv/>
and stream compressed ascii-tv signal to its clients.

aatv in turn uses v4l (in the linux kernel)
and aalib <http://aa-project.sourceforge.net/aalib/>

software that does something related to multicasting/multiplexing of data
streams.

files in package:

readme.txt                 
   - this file.
Compress/Compress.pm
   - wrapper for /usr/bin/compress
     this gives a better realtime streaming performance than gzip or zlib
     * maybe if I do per-frame compression, and use 'flush' it will work
     with zlib too.
TVData.pm
   - wrapper for aatv command

mcast.pl
   - main program

tvclient.pm
   - wrapper for client socket, handles compression

tvstream
   - v0.0 version, does not support multiple clients

aatv.patch
   - changes I made to aatv-0.2
