Hi all,

because of the latest discussion I want to tell what I think that should be changed in 
the next
release (btw: will there ever be a _release_ or at least beta version of cdrtools 
1.11?)

All:
        Output with `-help' option should go to stdout instead of stderr.
        This the behaviour of (almost) every other program
        since this is the _regular_ not error output.
        It's a pain to always re-direct stderr to stdout if I just want to pipe 
through less.


Mkisofs:
        Return value should be non-zero if one or more files could not be included 
into the FS.
        Maybe this error condition could be suppressed by one or more switches..
        Default should be to exit w/ != 0 in such cases!
        The following _is_ an _error_  and should be handled this way:
<output of mkisofs>
mkisofs: Value too large for defined data type. File /tescht/tescht is too large - 
ignoring
Total translation table size: 0
Total rockridge attributes bytes: 169
Total directory bytes: 0
Path table size(bytes): 10
Max brk space used 5064
48 extents written (0 Mb)
</output of mkisofs>

Cdrecord:
        When executed in batch mode there is no need to wait 10 seconds before start 
writing.
        There should be an option (like `-n' of cdrdao) to switch this off.


May be I missed something, but these are the most urgent topics I see.


Kind regards

        Carsten
