 Hi,   M This is an announcement of a java-based frontend to my CD-recording programs. K I have modified the java-source "BurnIT-1_06". Additionally I have written  > three command-files, that handle all cases I want to get work.  O ==============================================================================   1.) Installation&     Get java 1.1.6 (+ a thread-patch).     javac *.javaI     modify the command-files (paths of cdrecord/cdwrite, container file,       mkisofs and diskreader).	 2.) Usage      java "BurnIT"      A menu shows three options     Setup, BurnIT, Quit   	     Setup 6     Setup 1. Menu: select recorder, read/write-speed, @                    ID,Bus,Lun (see remarks in cdrecord for vms!))                    Do not use "Auto"!!!!! =     Setup 2. Menu: Do not type in anything and select "Next>" =     Setup 3. Menu: Do not type in anything and select "Next>" %     Setup 4. Menu: Select "Save"        
     BurnITB     BurnIT 1. Menu: only CD-ROM and CD Copy are functional options                     upto now. $     If you select CD-ROM and "Next>"H     Select ISO-9960 and Mode-1 (Default is XA-2!!!) in the subsequently      appearing Windows.  B     Now a window appears, that play a key role in my environment!!;     You have to type in the source-directory or a filename.      Case 1: L     If the filename is identical to your container file of your virtual disk9     the program simply starts burning the container file.      Case 2: J     Otherwise the virtual disk will be initialized and all files you have D     selected will be copied via backup to the virtual disk. Then the     CD recording starts..     i.e. disk:[dir.sub-dir1.sub-dir2...] givesM     backup/noas disk:[dir.sub-dir1.sub-dir2...]/ign=inter vda0:[*...]/ow=orig K     So you'll see where the parameter enters. I'm aware that no disk space  K     check is been done. You have to know that you amount of data is smaller      than 650 MB.     Case 3.:I     If you enter a directory and modify one empty parameter in the second C     line (I've used Volume ID all the time.), the virtual disk will ?     be initialized and a iso-filesystem cdrom will be produced. G     All data from the directory and subdirectory you have selected will K     be copied into a container file. The container file produced by mkisofs "     will then be written to a CDR.F     Finally you have to select the "speed" and the "Test write" optionH     if you like (do not try "Write directly") and finally select "Burn".H     All program (backup/mkisofs/cdrecord) been called automatically, but4     they'll take some time until they are finished.        CD Copy Option * "Next>"H     Select your source device (i.e. dka400:) and your destination device     (i.e. dev=0,5,0)       "Next>":5     Select Speed and optionally "Test write" + "Burn" H     All data from your source device will be copy to the new initializedN     virtual disk into to a single file. Then the single file will be recorded.  > Important: be patient and do not select "burn" more that once.  O ==============================================================================     You will get the package via    6 ftp://v36.chemie.uni-konstanz.de/burnit_vms/burnit.zip   Please send comments to   ' Eberhard.Heuser-Hofmann@uni-Konstanz.de  or# vaxinf@chclu.chemie.uni-konstanz.de   D PS: Now I know how difficult it is to write manuals or instructions!
