- The ASERIESJOLIET intrinsic transform creates a
hybrid CD which has 2 file systems. Each file is
registered twice, once on each of the file
systems.
- The A-Series partition is ISO9660, and the files
have an Extended Attribute Record (XAR), and
System Software can access the data using
LogicalIO, KIND = CD.
- The JOLIET partition, translates the files to
Windows format, that is, ASCII with variable
length records terminated by a CR and LF.
- When the CD is mounted on a Windows system, it
ignores the ISO9660 partition, and makes the
JOLIET files available.
- When the CD is mounted on the A-Series it sees an
ISO9660 Data CD, and ignores the JOLIET
partition.
- This is a relatively slow process because the
files are copied first to the cache, as they are
deleivered by LIBRARY/MAINTENANCE, then
reprocessed for the ISO9660 partition, and then
reprocessed for the JOLIET partition.
