This is right off the top of my head, but I remember that High Sierra
was the predecessor of the ISO9660 format standard (the two are very
close), while RockRidge specifies how extension fields in the 9660
format are to be used to encode longer names, Unix file permissions,
etc. It has always amazed me that IBM has failed to allow the OS/2 CDROM
IFS to exploit at least the long file names, it's such an obvious
enhancement!
