- 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!
