Is my computer completely wrong? Or can it be true that the CD-ROM in
Barnes' "Programming in Ada 2005" only contains these two files:
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 43 2001-07-16 21:29 autorun.inf
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 40960 2002-12-17 14:31 udfrchk.exe
Greetings,
Jacob

Google turns up pages that hint to Roxio UDF reading software,
or to a UDF filesystem module for the Linux kernel...

The CD-ROM contains eight *.pdf files and Readme.tx file on top
directory. The nested directory contains sources and executables and
more Ada sources at the further nested directory.

Considering that UDF is supported in Linux from 2.6 upwards and in
Windows from Vista, distributing a UDF disc seems a bit premature of
the publisher. And expecting people to install a driver from a book CD
... well, bad attitude. Furthermore I don't see the advantages of UDF
vs ISO 9660 if one is only distributing 7 files with (presumably)
short 7 bit file names.

No good on a Mac either -- unless the user is prepared to shell out
$50 for a reader tool (he free one I found didn't work.) I went to the
publisher's web site, no errata page I could see but I left a message
suggesting they at least put the CD content on their site!
