Hi there,
I need to burn a CD to use on a "real" Unix system (I mean those Unix
systems that can't mount HFS+). I suppose to have to use ISO 9660 format,
but I'm not completly sure.
Furthermore, the only software that I posses is Toast 4 (OEM version) and
it seems it doesn't provide any menu settings to choose ISO format.
Looking at the Toast's AppleScript dictionary I found:
>
Class ISO 9660 disc: An ISO 9660 disc
>
Properties:
>
inherits disc -- all properties and elements of the given class are
inherited by this class.
>
iso format CD/CD XA -- the ISO format used for the disc
>
iso naming ISO 9660 Level 1/Allow DOS Names/Allow Macintosh Names/Joliet
-- the naming convention used for the disc
>
append version numbers boolean -- append ;1 to all file names to satisfy
the ISO 9660 standard
>
use Apple extensions boolean -- strongly recommended when the disc is not
hybrid
>
resolve aliases boolean -- when this parameter is on the original files
rather than their aliases will be written
>
It seems that something like:
tell application "Toast"
make new ISO 9660 disc
...
end tell
does the trick. But what about all those properties like "iso format",
"iso naming" etc???
Anyone can explain those to me??
Thanks in advance,
Andrea.
