- There are a bunch of programs on the MegaDemo CD-ROM for MS-DOS (Profit
- Press' $6 demo CD) that allow low-level access to CDs. Two of them let you
- read arbitrary sectors on discs, and it doesn't look like they don't even
- need to have ISO 9660 filestructures. CDREAD is a disc editor-type program
- (without the editing) and DUMP copies the contents of CD-ROM sectors to a
- file.
-
- I'm putting them into the pub/pc directory as files cdread.zip and cdump.zip
- at ccu.umanitoba.ca for anonymous ftp access, in case they're not available
- elsewhere. Perhaps someone will move them to a more appropriate site.
