■ To share a CD-R image:
1. Copy the image file to the FastCD server.
2. Add the image file path to the FastCD configuration file,
DPFASTCD.DAT.
A sample DPFASTCD.DAT file with renamed images
added:
SYS:SYSTEM\DISCPORT.CD\DPFASTCD\NSEPRO.FCD
SYS:SYSTEM\DISCPORT.CD\DPFASTCD\CSELECT.FCD
SYS:SYSTEM\DISCPORT.CD\DPFASTCD\ENCARTA.CDR
VOL1:CDIMAGES\TESTCD1.CDR
VOL1:CDIMAGES\TESTCD2.CDR
If the format of the CD-R is not understood by FastCD, the
entry will be deleted automatically, and an error message will
be displayed on the server console.
Burning CD-Rs Using FastCD Images
FastCD image files can be used by most CD-R recording soft-
ware packages to create, or burn, CDs. Non-compressed image
files, those with the CDR extension, can be used as the source
file with compatible CD-R software. It is most likely that the
FastCD image file extension will have to be changed from
CDR to one the software recognizes, e.g., IMG or ISO. After
you rename the image file with an extension the recording
software recognizes, it can use that image file to burn CDs.
Do not try to use FastCD compressed image files to record
CDs. The compressed file format is proprietary and will not be
recognized by recording software packages.
