Help! -- Burning CDs with Windows NT for IRIX workstation
Ken Szeto
both NT and IRIX. Here is the problem. Using Adaptec's Easy CD Creator, I
can burn the CD in the following format: ISO 9660 and Juliet. Although SO
9660 is an international standard, it only supports 8 characters for
filenames. Juliet support long file names but it is only good for Windows
environment... Does anyone know what kind of CD format I should use? Is
there a happy median?? If anyone knows anything about this, suggestions and
solutions are greatly appreciated.
Thank you all for your attention.

I'm by no means an expert on the subject, but you might want to try
looking at ISO 9660 with Rock Ridge extensions, and/or ECMA 168.

it can be boot as well
Also possible to make track image in system you try to copy from
-you get one file raw format something like trackimage.001
and copy it like audio RAW file - it helps sometime to me with El Torino
formats
Best regards

Not true, it supports filenames with 32 characters, but with many
restrictions.
Does your SW support Rockridge extensions? That is probably the only thing
Irix can read with long file names, and a well established standard (outside
the MS-world ;-> ).

No median, but your software is definitely able of burning CD images.
Perhaps the Unix tool `mkisofs' is available for WinNT? It can produce
images which e.g. have both Rockridge and Joliet extensions (happy on both
worlds, you see). A simple command line produces an image from your
directories...
Check out http://www.fokus.gmd.de/research/cc/glone/employees/joerg.schilling/private/cdb.html
(sorry for the long line), there are links to `mkisofs' and the similar
`mkhybrid'. See e.g. ftp://ftp.ge.ucl.ac.uk/pub/mkhfs/README.win32, that
should do the (image) trick for you.
HTH,
Moritz. :-)
