This is Debian/GNU Linux's prepackaged version of Mark Podlipec's xanim 
utility.  This package provides the users of Debian GNU/Linux with the ability
to play many of the "movie" and sound files found on the internet.

This package was put together by me, Shaya Potter
<spotter@itd.nrl.navy.mil>, from the Mark's sources, which I obtained from
ftp://ftp.shell.portal.com/pub/podlipec/xanim27063.tar.gz.  The changes were
very minimal - merely adding support for the Debian package maintenance scheme,
by adding various debian.* files.
The package is now maintained by Igor Grobman <igor@debian.org>


==============================================================================

Below is the official permission from xanim's author, Mark Podlipec, to 
distribute xanim with non-free modules compiled in.

Yes, that sounds feasible. I can agree to that :^)
