But I have a platform, on which I *know*, that I can read and use ISO-CD Rom, but I don't know for shure if I can read (or use) the Sun FS on it. If the CD appears as ISO-9660, I'm gonna buy one with 99% probability, as I know it will be usefull for me. But with a Sun-FS, I would have to try it out, what wouldn't be so easy; the effect would be, that I wouldn't buy one, which wouldn't help neither me nor CSRG. >POSIX-noncompliant case-folding is doubly damning. Even without ISO9960 >restrictions to this effect, DOS would still impose them on you. ISO9660 does not mean, that this CD can only be used under DOS. There exist ISO9660 drivers for real OSes - I even think for 386BSD. -- Heiko W.Rupp Gerwigstr.5 7500 Kh'e 1 hwr@pilhuhn.ka.sub.org +49 721 693642 Is this TERMINAL fun?
