RS_CDROM is a utility by Steve Hughey (the author of RATSoft/ST) which
will allow you to fix a problem which will allow many of you to use
CD-ROM's with RATSoft/ST BBS Software (it may work for other BBS
software as well). The title of this program is the "Read Only Device
Intercept Utility (dated June 20, 1993). Some archive utilities are very
fond of temporary files. These are created for whatever reason the
archive utility sees fit, often in situations where you would see no
need for a temporary file -- but it's created anyway. This normally
won't cause any troubles, but you can't write to a CD-ROM and if an
archive utility tries, it's bombs-away! This little utility fits
inbetween RATSoft (or any program for that matter), and simply checks to
see if the archive you are accessing is located on a read-only device.
If it is, it is copied to a work drive (a HD usually), and then the
archive utility is called, now accessing the archive from it's new
location. Docs included.
