Hi,
Can anybody tell me whether the image file created by the mkhybrid premastering application on Linux dumps the files 2 times i.e. once for the ISO and then for the HFS. or they dump the file contents only once and provide ISO view and HFS view for the same. If not?? then is it possible how to do it??
Again, can anybody give me a link to shareware programs on Windows which will create HFS image from Windows selected files.
regards Biswaroop

Note: the mkhybrid code is now part of mkisofs. You should be using mkisofs instead of mkhybrid.
mkisofs creates a "shared" HFS hybrid i.e. the file data only exists once on the CD.

mkisofs can be compiled on Windows - using the Cygwin environment. The cdrtools package (mkisofs is part of cdrtools) should provide info on this.

I think you're getting a few things confused Biswaroop.
Firstly, HFS only supports one system of charachter incoding, MacRoman. If your korean charachters aren't there, then you can't use them.
Secondly, when I installed hfsutils, I didn't use mkhybrid (the hard links to the hfsutils application didn't work under cygwin, so I had to guess at what to call it. I never tried mkhybrid). Cygwin is a massive application (600Mb) if you install all of it, which you probably don't need to do, so I'd suggest trying to get the setup.exe application again. It will download the relevant parts as needed depending on what you choose to install. You'll need gcc, binutils, make and cygwin (and win32api) to make hfsutils. Just select the whole compiler section in the setup options. The thing to remember though is that cygwin/setup.exe is a symlink to cygwin/latest/setup.exe, so if you're in an ftp browser, and you have problems with the main setup.exe, get the other one. To get cygwin goto http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html and pick a mirror (such as ftp.mirror.ac.uk) then go to the latest directory, et voila.
Thirdly, every filetype available on a PC is availiable on a mac, as long as a compatible application is avaliable (so include all M$ applications and adobe applications, and any other company thats any good). The finder uses a long (4 bytes) to store the application type. There are therefore at least 64*64*64*64 possible applications that use normal ascii for that. Have a look at netatalk for a list of some avaliable (the etc/AppleVolumes.system file contains a list). On my system there are about 250 extension to Finder Tag conversions, but what most people do is run a netatalk application to regenerate that file, based on what a particular system has used. Remember the Finder Tag referes to the Application that made it, not the file type, so things like .wav .jpg .gif may have several different tags, one for each application that can create them. You need to pick the one that your system uses.
A Hybrid CD contains 2 different partitions, only one of which will be visible on a non linux system (I belive). The difference being ISO contains MBCS (or atleast DBCS) filenames, and supports file system 'extensions'. I don't know what the standard is for the HFS part of that. I'd guess you can make the HFS partition HFS+, but apart from that, don't use it unless you really need forks.
You need to decide whether forks are more important than filenames, and decide what you're going to store where I think. Unless forks are a MUST, ISO is easier.

Hi, Thanks for responding!

What I'm trying to achieve is to set the filetype and creator fields on my external HFS-volume so that the correct icon appears on my Mac. I noticed that say for a .jpg or for a .txt even if these fields contain 0 this assignment is automatically done by Mac-OS when an external volume is mounted but for a .pdf or a .cpp file for eg. the generic icon appears. Once I set some default filetype and creator for a .pdf file the correct icon does appear. So what I need actually is not a one-to-many mapping (of all possible applications which deal with a particular kind of file) but some default one-to-one mapping of standard applications used to open a particular file - say MSWD for .doc files and so on.
I am not familiar with netatalk at all. Sorry if this is a newbie question but how exactly do I proceed ?

As I understand it the mac looking at your CD will check the application tag of a file against the applications is has installed, and if appropriate, get an icon and display it. If there is no application data, it assumes its a dos file and tries to work thigns out by extension (if modern os's). The Resource file can contain icon information, but I think this is only for applications. I would definately suggest you look at the etc/AppleVolumes.system file and start from there. Try that before anything else. It worked in my office without me having to do anything.
