Debian violates the livense and the Copyright law with distributing it. It is not worth talking about it....

There was a common code set for all platforms (including FreeBSD) in summer 1997 aleady...... 10 years ago, FreeBSD switched to CAM drivers and I developped the needed code together with the related FreeBSD developers Michael Smith and Kenneth D. Merry A year later ATAPI drives become popular and I told the FreeBSD people that we need a ATAPI/CAM integration. The ATAPI Code was written by a person that I believe is called Sorensen. He did tell all people that writing an ATAPI/CAM integration is bad and wrote burncd (which only supports a small subset of what cdrecord does). At the same time, he did sell an ATAPI/CAM integration together with cdrecord for ATAPI drives to his customers. I believe that FreeBSD has a self made problem with code that was introduced by someone who is not honest to his users. Cdrecord is still available and is constantly enhanced for better compatibility with broken drives and to introduce new features. Just use cdrecord ;-) ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/ Jörg -- EMail:joerg@schily.isdn.cs.tu-berlin.de (home) Jörg Schilling D-13353 Berlin js@cs.tu-berlin.de (uni) joerg.schilling@fokus.fraunhofer.de (work) Blog: http://schily.blogspot.com/ URL: http://cdrecord.berlios.de/private/ ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/schily
