.SH NAME
mimms \- MMS (e.g. mms://) stream downloader
.SH SYNOPSIS
.BI "mimms [" options "] <" url "> [" output "]"
.SH DESCRIPTION
MiMMS is a program designed to allow you to download streams using the MMS protocol
and save them to your computer, as opposed to watching them live. Similar functionality
is available in full media player suites such as Xine and MPlayer, but MiMMS is quick
and easy to use, and for the time being, remains a useful program.
