Off subject, off OS, what ripping software is avaliable for windows?
Sorry this is inappropriate - I necer use windows and therefore don`t know
whats available for it.  I have a friend in Tokyo that only runs windows.
I have to get some type of ripping software wroking on her machine for
her.  BladeEnc is to and works fine on windows.  So, I`m using that for
teh encoder.  I have not found any good ripping software that is free with
out limitations like the number of tracks that can be ripped, etc.

please reply to me in personal mail as this is clearly not a tlug subject.

In other news, I am now in Kyoto with all the Caldera goodies for August
meeting.  Can`t wait to see everyone there again on the 14th.
