Hi, thanks, Joerg, for the hint about Apple AA.
An examination of http://developer.apple.com/technotes/fl/fl_36.html reveils that AAIP fields and Apple fields can be distinguished only by a hairbreadth. There is a legal Apple field with SystemUseId 1 which nearly could be confused with AAIP. It has a fixed length of 7, whereas the shortest possible first AAIP field has length 9. Follow-up fields can be shorter, but they are preceeded by a longer AAIP field. This is too close to be reasonable. I will change the AAIP field signature from AA to some other name. libisofs will stay able to recognize its old AA fields (by hair) but will issue only the new ones. Now there is the question what field signature to choose. ------------------------------------------------------------- Joerg: your advise would be appreciated with this. Is "AL" a known field name ? I collected from SUSP, RRIP, kernel sources, "Apple Extensions to ISO 9660", mkisofs/rock.c, ... SUSP: CE , PD , SP , ST , ER , ES RRIP: PX , PN , SL , NM , CL , PL , RE , TF , SF , (RR) mkisofs: XA , ZF Apple ISO: AA , BA Google : AS (Amiga) , ------------------------------------------------------------- One may wonder why i care for "Apple ISO 9660" which is not supported by any open source kernel and is declared "Legacy Document" by Apple Inc. Well, it seems to be the ancestor of SUSP, RRIP and also of AAIP. One should show respect to its seniority. Have a nice day :) Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
