	Say..
        -----

	This small ripper rips THX modules, by searching in files.
	It supports XFD-crunchers, and uses Abyss's replayer routine.
	THX is NOW using a GUI (Gadtools), so.. It will be easier
	playing modules, hunting and so on! :) THX-Ripper has now
        locale support, just change the LANGUAGE tooltype in the
	icon for other languages..

	PLEASE...
        ---------

	It would be nice if ALL of you that uses THXRipper could EMAIL
        me, so I can see how many that uses THXRipper. This is just for
        future development of THXRipper (EMAIL me ONCE not more or less)..
	If you have mailed me before, then mail me again..

	Thanks in advance.. 

	Usage
        -----

	If run from SHELL then the DEFAULT (english) language will be
	used.. Run if from WB! :) (I use ToolsDaemon)

	Default settings are:

	MOUSE    = 1         (left mousebutton)
	LANGUAGE = English   (Locale)

	Menus
	-----

	Snapshot window - This function will snap the current window
			  position, and save it in env(arc):
			  Next time you open THXRipper, THXRipper will
			  open on the location you snapshot it at..


	Available Tooltypes
        -------------------

	LANGUAGE=language (see available languages (in this Archieve) list )

        Is used to change the language to another country language, e.g:

        LANGUAGE=norsk

	MOUSE={1-3}

	This option is ONLY available when playing a module. This option
	will let you choose what mousebutton needed to click to end/or stop
	a module playing. The value can be from 1 to 3, meaning:

	1 = Left mousebutton
	2 = Right mousebutton
	3 = Both mousebuttons

	Any other values will confuse THXRipper.. So, don't use any other..


	Other Languages
        ---------------

	If you want to make other languages for THXRipper, then go ahead..
	But, please send them to me, so that I can include them in the
        next release of THXRipper..

	I have included the norsk.ct file so that you can make other
        languages.. If you don't understand the HOTKEY feature in the
	*.CT file, leave it to me ! :)

        If you create new languages, send the *.CT file to me by EMAIL..

	Languages available
	-------------------
		Languages available in this version:

		* Nederlands
		* Norwegian (Norsk)
		* English
