I've chat with Jack for UDF quite a long time ago, as I remember UDF support not only make the UIDE a lot larger, but UDF is rather complex and the logic may eat up lot of memory, also it's now not very popular or urgent needed, since a CD/DVD image can be burn in a hybrid mode (ISO+Joliet+UDF). Jack did not consider it for some more reasons, sorry but I forgot. >My vote is to do it. :) Too bad he's been in bad mood now, being greatly disturb by his new neighbors, he can't even have a good sleep, I'm sure he can't do any programming right now. >Of course, that's easy for me to say, I won't be the one writing the >thing (I don't know enough about either assembly or udf formats to >help with this one) >hSure wish I did though. All his drivers was really originated from his own use, he kindly published them free for others, I feel it's good enough. It's an extra work and burden to ask him for functions that he did not use, such as USB support or UDF, a lot of specifications need to go through and study, also have a lot of programmings, debug and try-and-error. If he found the time and interest, he may consider to add the functions, but no promise and no guarantee.
