The -probe option looks for all known encoding of Macintosh files e.g. AppleDouble, CAP, MacBinary etc. If you don't have any of these types of files, -probe won't help. mkisofs knows nothing about Windows 'file extenstion associations' - even if it did, it wouldn't help as the 'associations' don't know anything about the Macintosh file TYPE and CREATOR attributes... >I have the following map files samples...

I don't know how Macs cope with files that have a 'CREATOR' and no corresponding application to launch them. This is something that has to be done by the 'Finder' and there is nothing mkisofs can do to help. James Pearson -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
