"Defective" CD-ROM is a misleading statement. "Interchange Level 3 ISO-9660 volumes are not handled by this OS" would be more accurate. > /* > * The ISO-9660 filesystem only stores 32 bits for file size. But the ISO-9660 _standard_ stores 32 bits for the size of each _extent_ and there can be a virtually unlimited number of _extents_ in a single file at ISO-9660 Interchange Level 3. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
