- History Release 1.3:
- --------------------
-
- - New: Plextor PX-R24CS(i) CD writer
- - Bugfix: MakeCD crashed cleaning up after image creation if one source path
- (but not the first one) was invalid.
- - Bugfix: Path prefixes work correctly now.
- - Bugfix: Using ExAll() for directory scanning skipped files in some
- directories.
- - When writing an image file to a CrossDos partition the file was always
- deleted afterwards because CrossDos reports a filesize of zero. Now
- MakeCD uses another function which works with CrossDos, too.

- MakeCD Mailing Lists
- --------------------
-
- There are three different mailing lists for MakeCD:
-
- ml-makecd@unix-ag.uni-siegen.de
- For discussions with other users of MakeCD. The authors of MakeCD will
- read this list, too, so they can answer questions if noone else is able
- to answer. Sometimes they will ask you what you think about a new
- feature etc.
- ml-makecd-announce@unix-ag.uni-siegen.de
- No discussions, only announces from the authors. For example we will
- announce new versions and new drivers on this list.
- ml-makecd-binaries@unix-ag.uni-siegen.de
- This list brings all new MakeCD binaries directly into your mailbox.
- It is useful if you do not have access to ftp servers or homepages in
- the internet, and so are unable to download new MakeCD archives.
-
- To subscribe, send "SUBSCRIBE user@host" to
-
- listname-request@unix-ag.uni-siegen.de,
-
- where listname is the name of the mailing list, e.g. "ml-makecd-announce".
- Don't send requests to the lists themselves! To subscribe the email address
- "user@my.email.address" to the announce list, send the following message:
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
- To: ml-makecd-announce-request@unix-ag.uni-siegen.de
- Subject: Anything
-
- SUBSCRIBE user@my.email.address
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- To unsubscribe, send a similar message, but replace "SUBSCRIBE" by
- "UNSUBSCRIBE".
-
- Send the following message to get further instructions:
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Note on Distribution: NoCD
- --------------------------
-
- We decided to add this line, because Aminet has suspended freebies for
- authors (you now have to pay 5 to 15 DM for a so-called "freebie").
- Meeting Pearls IV CD costs only 3/5 (14.95 DM) of an Aminet CD (25 DM)
- and offers freebies (including shipping costs) for all authors (see
- "http://home.pages.de/~MP/"). So Meeting Pearls IV proofes that there
- cannot be financial reasons to suspend freebies. If you want to include
- this program an any CD other than Aminet and have a better freebie policy
- (or if your CDs are cheaper than Aminet), feel free to contact us.
