There are obviously workarounds for that restriction. As soon as the demand occurs i will try to learn. In worst case i would propose some client-server architecture. Another approach would be to create a new interface level inside libburn and to make use of an external MMC library rather than of our own MMC command functions. (I have seen man pages for MacOS describing such a thing.) There would still remain a lot of own functionality above its SCSI oriented source modules mmc.c, spc.c, sbc.c. > Please start explaining why you did not use libscg which grants portability > for software that likes to send SCSI commands to arbitrary targets..... That is because the reason for starting cdrskin was my wish to have a CD burn program which has no hostile relationship with Linux kernel people. Zero cdrecord ancestry is a design goal. (We have had enough clones, hadn't we ?) My DVD adventures came only later. It would indeed be worthwhile to implement on libscg an application which makes full use of contemporary DVD specs. But actually, i leave that to you. It is not bad to have multiple burn programs. They allow us to explore drive peculiarities. If only Nero had the politeness to misburn one or two of Gregoire's DVD+R DL. Grrr. Have a nice day :) Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
