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. Regards -- Markus
