+# (asap-sdl) works, but mplayer supports pause and seeking, which
+# makes it a lot nicer to use.
+# I wrote this for my own use. Might as well include it in the SBo
+# package, in case someone else wants it.

+Usage: $SELF [asapconv-options] filename

+"filename" must be a file supported by asapconv; usually these are
+*.sap files, but other formats are supported. Run "asapconv --help"
+to see the list of supported file formats.

+Any options given will be passed as-is to asapconv. This can be used
+e.g. to select a subsong via "-s 2" or such.

+$SELF is part of the SlackBuilds.org asap package, and is licensed
