MAKEISO.EXE - ISO9660 Image File Formatter


>>> PROGRAM DESCRIPTION <<<

    MAKEISO.EXE will build an ISO9660 compatible image file from one
or more data files. This image file can then be recorded onto a CD-R
disc with either FILE2CD.EXE or DAO.EXE.

***********************************************************************

>>> COMMAND LINE USAGE <<<

Usage: MAKEISO [drive:][path]<filename> <imagefile>
         [/HIDDEN] [/VOLUME=label]
filename  - Input filename (wildcards allowed)
imagefile - Output ISO9660 image filename
/HIDDEN   - Process hidden files
/VOLUME   - Volume label (maximum 32 characters)
e.g. MAKEISO *.DOC TEST.ISO
e.g. MAKEISO C:\TEST\*.* TEST.ISO /HIDDEN /VOLUME=MY_FILES

  The first 11 characters of the volume label will be returned as
the volume label from all DOS/Windows system calls and utilities.

  For fastest speed, the output image file should be written to a
different harddrive than the source files are on. This will eliminate
the head movement between reading the input files and writing the
output file.

***********************************************************************

>>> CURRENT RESTRICTIONS <<<

  The currect version of MAKEISO will only process one directory of
files. It will not recurse through any subdirectories.

  1) MAKEISO C:\TEST\*.* TEST.ISO /VOLUME=MY_FILES
  
  2) FILE2CD TEST.ISO /ISO9660

EXAMPLE 2: Create an ISO9660 compatible CD with DAO.EXE
(for all recorders *except* Philips/HP).

  1) MAKEISO C:\TEST\*.* TEST.ISO /VOLUME=MY_FILES
  
  2) Write a CUE SHEET called TEST.CUE that contains the following...
    
    FILE TEST.ISO MODE1 2048
      TRACK 01
      INDEX 01 00:00:00
      POSTGAP

  3) DAO TEST.CUE
