They did?? Oh my...
To give an idea what I planned to do:
1. Support ISO Level 3. This is important to be able to read DirectCD
discs (on Mac OS 9, it was possible to use my Joliet driver or the
Adaptec UDF driver, which also I did write, but on OS X neither the ISO
nor the UDF driver handle those discs)
2. Support for files > 4GB in size by using 64 bits for file sizes. This
builds on top of the Level 3 support: It would allow to read files from a
ISO formatted large disc (e.g. a DVD) with files > 4GB on them. This is
achieved by using the fragmentation feature of Level 3 (also known as
multi-extent). Windows XP supports this, and Toast might soon as well.
It's a shame that OS X can't handle such files.
3. And while I'm at it, why not add support for old-style Apple
Extensions in ISO 9660 volumes?
4. Lastly, fix Joliet related problems as indicated by William Kucharski
(he's have to be more specific on it, though)
BTW, thanks for all the other hints from all of who replied.
Thomas
