This is an Amiga port of "mkisofs", a simple CD-ROM mastering package
that is covered by the GNU General Public License. Note that this
port is based on the Dec 1993 1.00 general release.
In order to be able to produce royality free CD-ROM's, that were
compatible with other Amiga CD-ROM's (ISO-9660 level 2 with some minor
differences), I funded this port of mkisofs. It has now been used to
produce several CD releases, so I'm confident that it is reasonably
bug free and reliable.
HINT: If you make a CD, I strongly suggest that you use "brik" to
generate a CRC list of every file on the CD and it's CRC. You can
then go back at any time, either during the production process, or
after production, to verify that the data you are working with is 100%
complete and correct.
You can use the CRC list to verify that a particular production disk
is good, or that a specific software driver is capable of reading the
entire disk. This port of mkisofs turned up bugs in almost every
software driver I tried, which would have very likely gone undetected
or been very hard to find if the CRC list had not been available to
validate the CD with.
A typical command for generating an Amiga compatible ISO image is:
mkisofs -a -c -e -o ISO:FreshFish-May94.iso \
-P "Amiga Library Services - (602) 917-0917" \
-p "Fred Fish" -r -V FreshFish-May94 FreshFish-May94:
If you are interested in enhancing this package or otherwise making
significant improvements in it, please contact me. Thanks!
