CDRECORD readme file for the Open Sources Tools CD CDRECORD is a free software package, which was used to provide support for writing Compact Disk media on OpenVMS. The CDRECORD package is copyrighted by Jorg Schilling, and its use is governed by GNU General Public License version 2. A copy of this license is named COPYING, and is included with the sources, as required. The origin of the sources used on VMS is cdrtools-1.10 from the website: ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/cdrecord/ The sources included on the cd are the sources used to build the CDRECORD executable shipped with OpenVMS V7.3-1. Any include files that may not be included are shipped with this version of OpenVMS. Only the cdrecord portion of the package was used, and some minor modifications to the package were made. The modifications were primarily in the scsi-vms.c module, in order to "map" the unix -dev=m,n,o specification into a vms "DQ" device. The CDRECORD.COM procedure first does the reverse mapping of accepting a VMS "DQcu" device, and converting it into a -dev=m,n,o CDRECORD.EXE switch. The scsi-vms.c module parses the -dev=m,n,o information, and converts it to the VMS "DQcu" device name to be opened. The existing package build procedure was changed to be similar to the OpenVMS build procedure. See procedures BUILD_SETUP.COM, BUILD_ALL.COM, and BUILD_ALL_DEBUG.COM.
