I'm in the process of investigating UDF with the aim of producing a UDF filesystem (possibly only read-only) and a UDF enabled version of mkisofs (porst/sysutils) I have all the appropriate specs and standards here and have been reading them. I also have the linux UDF code as of a month or two back. I'd love to see the MACOS-X UDF code but it doesn''t seem to be released in those parts they have made public. The UDF filesystem is not rocket science but the documents describing it are in "ISO-Standardese" which means that they are almost IMPOSSIBLE to read. EVERYTHING is defined in the least useful manner possible, and no overall architecture is given. they just specify every single field, and you have to piece the big picture together from about 200 pages of minute fragments. I'm about ready to start some coding, but I still have a few details to figure out from the docs. (In the mean while all CDs and DVDs should also have a ISO9660 filesystem in parallel, pointing at the same data) (for a couple of years anyhow) (that is what the standard for DVDs say) Julian On Sun, 26 Mar 2000, John Reynolds wrote: > > Hello all, > > I was fishing through the archives this morning (sorting by date) > looking for information about support for UDF filesystems.
