Title: Accessing the ISO/IEC 10646-1:2000 CD-ROM

Action: For information

ITTF published ISO/IEC 10646-1:2000 (E) on a CD-ROM which contains 19 PDF files and one text file. Unfortunately, the filenames given on the CD-ROM bear little relation to the content of those files. The following table provides information which can assist in making use of the CD-ROM. It gives both the actual CD-ROM filename and a suggested name which can be used for files which are downloaded to disk.

Macintosh users will find the filenames in a seriously mangled state, shown as the second line of the "CD-ROM filename" column below. Apple has not included support for the Joliet file system in the Mac OS because Joliet has not been accepted as part of the ISO 9660 standard. Joliet is supported in Windows 95 and later to allow filenames with more than 8 characters + a 3-character extension. When Joliet file system CD-ROMs are used with the Mac OS, only the DOS-version of the filenames is available which, consequently, renders the filenames illegible. It is curious that the CD-ROM published by ITTF uses a non-ISO-9660 file system for distribution of its files.

A solution for the Mac user is to use Thomas Tempelmann's free software "Joliet File System for Mac OS" available from http://www.tempel.org/joliet/. I am using it myself.
