*** NEWS ***

Macs can now read Joliet CDs - see http://www.tempel.org/joliet/

***

*** IMPORTANT ***

The meaning of some of the HFS command line options has changed since
version 1.12b5.2. This change is to make the way genisoimage decodes the 
various Apple/Unix file formats (CAP, AppleDouble, MacBinary etc.) less
confusing and more logical. To decode one or more of the Apple/Unix files,
then the corresponding "double dash" option must be given (i.e. --cap, 
--double, --macbin etc.) genisoimage can search for all known Apple/Unix files
by using the -probe option.

The options that have changed are:

Option		old meaning			new meaning
======		===========			===========

-hfs		Create an HFS hybrid CD		Create an HFS hybrid CD.
		and attempt to decode all	Any Apple/Unix file is only
		Apple/Unix files (except	decoded if one or more of
		MacBinary and AppleSingle)	the "double dash" options are
						given

-apple		Create an ISO9660 with		Create an ISO9660 with
		Apple extensions CD and		Apple extensions CD. Any
		attempt to decode all		Apple/Unix file is only decoded
		Apple/Unix files (except	if one or more of the
		MacBinary and AppleSingle)	"double dash" options are given

-no-mac-files	Do not attempt to decode	No longer used
		any Apple/Unix file

-probe		Attempt to decode		Attempt to decode all
		MacBinary and AppleSingle	Apple/Unix files
		as well as the other
		Apple/Unix files

***

Most of the HFS features work fine, however, some are not fully tested.
These are marked as "Alpha" in the man page.

See "ChangeLog.mkhybrid" for any minor changes/bug fixes

If you are using SunOS 4.1.[34], then you need the following patches
to read CDs with associated files:

SunOS 4.1.3:		Patch 101832-05
SunOS 4.1.3_U1:		Patch 101833-02
SunOS 4.1.4:		Patch 102583-02


EXAMPLES

To create a HFS hybrid CD with the Joliet and Rock Ridge extensions of
the source directory cd_dir:

% genisoimage -o cd.iso -r -J -hfs cd_dir

To create a HFS hybrid CD from the source directory cd_dir that contains
Netatalk Apple/Unix files:

% genisoimage -o cd.iso --netatalk cd_dir

To create a HFS hybrid CD from the source directory cd_dir, giving all files
CREATOR and TYPES based on just their filename extensions listed in the file 
"mapping".:

% genisoimage -o cd.iso -map mapping cd_dir

To create a CD with the 'Apple Extensions to ISO9660', from the source
direcories cd_dir and another_dir. Files in all the known Apple/Unix format
are decoded and any other files are given CREATOR and TYPE based on their
magic number given in the file "magic":

% genisoimage -o cd.iso -apple -magic magic -probe cd_dir another_dir

The following example puts different files on the CD that all have
the name README, but have different contents when seen as a
ISO9660/RockRidge, Joliet or HFS CD.

Current directory contains:

% ls -F
README.hfs     README.joliet  README.unix    cd_dir/

The following command puts the contents of the directory "cd_dir" on the
CD along with the three README files - but only one will be seen from
each of the three filesystems:

% genisoimage -o cd.iso -hfs -J -r \
        -hide README.hfs -hide README.joliet \
        -hide-joliet README.hfs -hide-joliet README.unix \
        -hide-hfs README.joliet -hide-hfs README.unix \
        README=README.hfs README=README.joliet README=README.unix \
        cd_dir

i.e. the file README.hfs will be seen as README on the HFS CD and the
other two README files will be hidden. Similarly for the Joliet and
ISO9660/RockRidge CD.

There are probably all sorts of stange results possible with
combinations of the hide options ...

Please state the version, platform and command line used when submitting
a bug report - the output from "-log-file -v" would help.
