IsoFS 0.21 is released

2001-10-11 17:01:28 -- Eugene Gorbunoff [www.os2world.com, Klaus Staedtler]

ISOFS is an installable file system for OS/2 to access ISO rawfiles suitable for burning on CD. ISOFS allows transparent readonly access to the contents of the raw file. Currently only Joliet filenames are supported but this may change in the future. New:

• Added support for file and directory times which was still missing.
• Found the solution for the missing notebook pages. You have to tell OS/2 that there's support for EAs even if that's not true.
