Nah, think of it as a commitment filter. If a person can't be
bothered to make a small download to get Perl for the conversion, how
much effort do you think they'd put into coding and debugging the
source files? Besides, Perl is multi-platform and pretty darn useful
once you learn a few quirks and basic regular expressions.
regular expressions are still like magic spells for me.
Does ATAPICD work? I thought it was basically abandoned unfinished in
favor of other DOS CD-drivers generally available and working (which
admittedly aren't open-sourced).
AtapiCD basicly works, but without error checking. Indeed we favour
other more advanced cdrom drivers if the user can provide them, as no
cdrom manufacturer has given permission so far to distribute their DOS
cdromdriver. It's pretty difficult to play by the rules.
a cleanly compiling NASM port might encourage people to try extending
the driver with all the other desired options (CRC, DMA, ASPI etc).
