You could learn. It is open source. Actually the system dependent code is consolidated in two source modules which implement some defined interfaces. Inside its interface implementations, the system adapters are free and obliged to act as the host system demands it for CD/DVD/BD burning. So the adapter implementation on Linux is indeed Linux-centric - and that is good so. > The typical _users_ of such a lib are expected to be > GUIs. > [...] classified to be a security problem. My own apps on top of libburn are command line programs: cdrskin and xorriso. Have a nice day :) Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
