-      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, MPlayer,
-      and VLC, but mimms is quick and easy to use and, for the time
-      being, remains a useful program.
