Hi,

I have an app that burns CDs by running the Mac OS X "drutil" tool via a shell object. But as soon as drutil tries to display its progress (in the Terminal, this is done by a kind of text "progress bar" made with asterisk characters), the shell object returns only garbage characters. The same call to drutil does not show this problem when entered maanually into Terminal.

I guess that drutil tries to switch the terminal into some kind of special mode to display its progress. Any way I can "translate" this output so that it becomes readable again? I dont think that these are the old "ANSI sequences", because AFAIK that would mean that at least a part of the text should be readable. In my shell output, _all_ characters are garbage (ie. non-ASCII).

Any tips?

Thanks,
   Frank+++
