Hi David! :-) DD> Ah - I don't believe I've ever seen a Rockridge CD. Most discs nowadays (at least Linux distribution discs) are mastered to support both formats - they do coexist nicely. Both are basically additional full directory structures giving filenames and extra attributes. DD> Do MS OSs read it? I wouldn't think so. You'd just get the short ISO9660 names. Those are always there, even if the OS doesn't support the additional information provides by Joliet and/or Rockridge. Sometimes, on a Rockridge disc, you'll find files called TRANS.TBL. These hold information to aid non-RR operating system users. For example, if there are symlinks on the filesystem, the TRANS.TBL file lists the destination name. These can be hidden from the Joliet-style directories, though, so you may not be able to see them in Windows.
