cdrtools-2.01a32 ready



NEW features of cdrtools-2.01a32:


Note that we are close before publishing release 2.01 final. Please test for
problems that might make the cdrtools unusable.

All:

-	New global method to handle PATH environment delimiters (":" on
	POSIX systems and ";" on DOS).

-	New README.msdos reflecting new features of smake-1.2a23 on DOS/DJGPP

-	Some minor enhancements to the makefilesystem

Libparanoia (Ported by Jörg Schilling, originated by Monty xiphmont@mit.edu):

Libedc (Optimized by Jörg Schilling, originated by Heiko Eißfeldt heiko@hexco.de):

Libscg:

-	Trying to write a better warning message for the dev=ATAPI: interface
	on Linux (the related kernel interface is unmaintained and does
	not support DMA at all).

Rscsi:

Cdrecord:

-	-clone option documented in the man page. This has been forgotten before.

-	Several typos in the man page fixed


Cdda2wav (By Heiko Eißfeldt heiko@hexco.de):

-	Removed some "historical junk" that caused cdda2wav to define a
	compile time default input device. This conflicts with cdda2wav -scanbus
	and is superfluous and contra productive since cdda2wav reads 
	/etc/default/cdrecord

Readcd:

-	Fixed a bug with -scanbus (did not work correctly if /etc/default/cdrecord
	exists).

-	Added an allocated list of defective sectors, that is printed to the end of
	a read operation.

Scgcheck:

Scgskeleton:

Mkisofs (By Jörg Schilling and James Pearson j.pearson@ge.ucl.ac.uk):

-	The options -H/-L/-P from mkisofs have been marked "outdated"
	as they are reserved by POSIX.1-2001 for other purposes.

	Mkisofs-2.02 will start to implement the POSIX.1-2001 semantics for
	these options.

-	The max. length for the strings in the Primary volume descriptor
	is now also documented in the options section of the man page.

-	Speed up by 30% in the case that a directory contains many (> 5000)
	pathological file name entries (that _all_ do not differ in 8.3).

-	A minor speed up in devdump & isodump was made by no longer calling
	strlen() in the end condition of a for loop (this still was old
	code from Eric).

TODO:
	-	read Joliet filenames with multi-session if no TRANS.TBL
		or RR is present. I am looking for a volouteer for this task!

		Note that this can never be 100% correct as there is no relation
		between the names on the master (UNIX) filesystem, the ISO-9660
		names and the Joliet names. Only the Rock Ridge names are
		untranslated with respect to the original files on the
		master (UNIX) filesystem.

	-	add libecc/edc for CDI and similar.


CYGWIN NT-4.0 NOTES:

To compile on Cygwin32, get Cygwin and install it.
For more information read README.win32

The files are located on:

ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha ...

NOTE:	These tar archives are 100% POSIX compatible. GNU tar may get some
	minor trouble. If you like a 100% POSIX compliant tar, get star from
	ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/star/

WARNING: Do not use 'winzip' to extract the tar file!
	Winzip cannot extract symbolic links correctly.
