RiscOS is an even smaller market than RISC OS ;-)

Hmmm, I think if you count active end users, RISC OS will probably turn out
to be more popular than OS/2.

The whole thing: unlikely. There is very little that CDBurn can do that
would make it better than the competition - with the exception of the user
interface, but its niceness is heavily bound to RISC OS' way of operation.

The only part that would possibly make sense is the whole ISO/Joliet
image creation stuff. Mainly because this would also port the RISC OS
filer to Windows, and most of the software available on Windows is a lot
less flexible when it comes to filename conventions etc.

Anyway, I am currently happy supporting the few thousand CDBurn users on
RISC OS, and it is likely that CDBurn will morph into DVDBurn in the
future. If I am ever getting bored, I will think about a port.
