Problems with cdrtools-1.9a04 on Linux were more or less expected.
Please test on different Linux versions...
NEW features of cdrecord-1.9a04:
We are now only a few releases away from the final libscg that includes
SCSI low level command transport.
All:
- README.macosX added (needed to know how to compile).
As Apple deliveres an inconsistent OS, you need to follow the
instuctions in this README file before you may compile
cdrtools on Mac OS X.
- libscg restructured
- libscg now handles a problem hat arises on Linux-2.2.10 ??? and newer
(newer releases before Linux-2.4) where it is already possible to
raise the DMA limit for the sg driver but there is no SCSI ioctl command.
These versions of Linux have a limitation on the DMA address
and need a DMA copy buffer which has been only 32 kB (SG_BIG_BUFF size).
As on 2.2.10 the DMA limit may be raised at run time but the size of
the copy buffer has been determined at compile time some commands
have been aborted with ENOMEM.
There should really be a better planning for interface transitions
of the sg driver on Linux.
TODO:
- Better BeOS integration

TODO:
- Add escape sequences to make the dir=dir syntax
unambigiuos
NOTE for James: I already started coding.
- better Rock Ridge recognition for multi-session
- read Joliet filenames with multi-session if no TRANS.TBL
or RR is present. I am looking for a volouteer for this task:
Peter Berendi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> announced that he likes
to be the volounteer for this task.
- implement Yellow book compliant XA extended dir attributes
- add libecc/edc for CDI and similar.
- add UDF support
CYGWIN NT-4.0 NOTES:
To compile on Cygwin32, get Cygwin32-beta20 and install it.
then create a symlink from /bin to the .../bin directory where bash is located.
Now run 'make' ...
For more information read README.win32
The files are located on:
ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/cdrecord/alpha ...
NOTE: These tar archives are 100% ansi compatible. Solaris 2.x tar and GNU
tar may get some minor trouble.
WARNING: Do not use 'mc' to extract the tar file!
All mc versions before 4.0.14 cannot extract symbolic links correctly.
WARNING: Do not use 'winzip' to extract the tar file!
Winzip cannot extract symbolic links correctly.
