#Which CDFS???
Hi Paul,
>> The YACDP program isn't font sensitive. Not the end of the world or
anything. I tried the PlayCD program, and it seemed just fine, although I
*definitely* don't like its font! <<
Nobody likes my font… sniff… Look in PlayCDs Tooltype. You can choose the
font you like. If you don't specify a font (Put Font and FontSize in brackets)
the screenfont will be used. If you define Font=default, the System font will
be used.
>> But YACDP seems to be the only player that can output over Paula.
Yes. Don't ask me about YACDP, please contact the author.
>> Also, none of the docs talk about registration and/or price! A bit of a
goof, I'd say. <<
No? Hmmm… Thank you for the hint, I'll change this! The price is 89,- DM
(about 50 USD I think). You can order it from Hirsch & Wolf. The Address SHOULD
be in the file Contact.doc. They accept Credit cards and foreign orders. And
yes, they speak English.
>> And finally, the docs say that CacheCDFS will *try* to read Mac HFS discs. I
haven't had a problem so far, and my AIFF datatype worked very nicely–the
first time I got to use it!–but that cautionary isn't exactly inspiring.
<<
What I mean with this uninspiring words: CacheCDFS was neither designed nor
optimized for MAC-HFS CDs. e.g. the caching mechanism is optimized for ISO
(Amiga) and RockRidge discs.
I added MAC-HFS in a last minute afford to compete with AsimCDFS.
At the moment of writing, I only had a couple of MAC discs and very small
possibilities to check, if the data I am reading really IS the data you want to
read.
I converted some Adobe fonts from a MAC disc with success, but I considered
this not to be a "proof" of functionality.
So I decided to say it the way I did. However, CacheCDFS is available now for
about 6 Month and until now nobody has reported problems.
