Actually we have something like that under OS/2. It's called Tonigy (www.tonigy.com), an IFS (Installable File System). According to its homepage:
# represents audio tracks as WAV or RAW files # represents video tracks as MPG files # represents data tracks as ISO files # allows to access CD-I files # allows to access boot image of an ISO track The integration with the system is quite seamless, as it operates on a very low level. For instance, other IFS available for OS/2 include VFAT, FAT32, EXT2, ZipStream (encrypted compressed filesystem) etc quite like a kernel module in Linux. Isn't there anything like that already made for Linux? -- DoC On Sat, 06 Jul 2002 15:13:36 +0100, Filipe Arnaldo de Carvalho Valpereiro wrote: >I just Remembert that Beos can copy a cdda track as a wave directly to >the disk.
