It should work OK - be careful of trailing '/' characters in the -exclude-list file (or command line) i.e. F:/Pages/Docs/ will not work, but: F:/Pages/Docs should work OK. It definitely works on Unix, and I see no reason why it shouldn't in the Cygwin environment (although I have no way of testing this at the moment). > >As you really want to give mkisofs a list of files to include on the CD, > >then you might want to look at my 'files' test patch at: > >It would be nice to have a front-end that anyone downloading the Cygwin >version of cdrtools can use.

The patch is a source code patch, so it should work fine under Cygwin - of course, you need the Cygwin development stuff (and be able to patch and rebuild mkisofs), not just the runtime code ... I have had hardly any feedback on the test patch - it still needs a lot of work before it could be considered to be included in mkisofs ... I don't really want to spend time on it, if hardly anyone is interested ... James Pearson -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
