Just so you know, I looked at the source of this and it contains pretty much 
all of the bugs--including security issues--that are in the original 
mmsclient, but fixed in libmms. This code (mmsrip) really ought to use 
libmms, and if it does have any extra protocol-level features, they should 
be patched to libmms. Otherwise this is going to be a security nightmare 
for you.
