PowerRIP (TM) version 3.0
To boldly rip where no ripper has ripped before :)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Using PowerRIP
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
First, fire up PowerRIP by typing POWERRIP.
Configure: If you would like to change any of the defaults, select
File | Configure.
To scan files: One you have selected the proper drive, directory, and file,
click on Scan to probe the files for "ripable material."
Custom scan: If the material you want was not detected by Scan and you
know the ID of the file you want, you can Custom Scan for it.
=> See Custom Scanning Reference below for more information.
Byte rip: If you know the exact bytes you want to rip from a file,
select the file, and click on Byte Rip.
Convert files: This has not been implemented yet.
View files: This has not been implemented yet.
Exit: When you're done with your rip session, select File | Exit.

Notes
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
After scanning files, when it asks you what file to save it to, check the
title (listed in parentheses). If it's just a bunch of random garbage, skip
it -- it's not a ripable file.
Some crews have purposely removed or changed the I.D. in their demos so the
music file(s) won't be "ripped" or "stolen" by other programs, and therefore
cannot be detected by PowerRIP.
