This is AerePerennius release 1.5 AerePerennius uses MiscKit. The authors of AerePerennius thankfully acknowledge the work of the contributors to the MiscKit. This document gives you a short overview over the features of AerePerennius, a small cd-wrinting utility. The english online documentation is not yet complete. What purpose serves AerePerennius? Welcome to AerePerennius. If you own a supported cd-recorder (see below), AerePerennius allows you to write your own audio and data cd's under NextStep/OpenStep. We should emphasize at this point that it is your responsibility to clarify that you do not violate any copyright by using AerePerennius. What is required for AerePerennius? ˇ a computer running NextStep 3.3 or above (right now only Intel and Next hardware is tested) ˇ a scsi hostadapter that is supported by NextStep/OpenStep ˇ a supported cd recorder ˇ AerePerennius must run with root privileges, so you must ask your system administrator to install AerePerennius properly ˇ patience and enough empty cdr's (:-) Which cd-recorder are supported by AerePerennius? In the current release, we deliver driver for the following cd-recorders: Philips IMS CDD522 IMS CDD2000 IMS CDD2600 HP C4324 C4325 CD-Writer 6020 Grundig CDR 100IPW Yamaha CDR100 CDR102 CDR200 CDR400 Sony CDU920 CDU924 CDU926 CDU940 If you own a cd-recorder, that we do not yet support, send us a mail () and ask, whether and when we might write a driver for your hardware. If your cdr device is compatible to a cd recorder listed above, you may configure the driver four your recorder by hand . What is AerePerennius not capable of? For now, AerePerennius is limited by two restrictions: a) AerePerennius is not yet capable of writing cd's "disk at once". For a data cd (cd-rom) this is no disadvantage as long as you do not intend to use this cd as a master for a mass production. For audio cd's this is a restriction as you get a compulsory gap of 2 seconds between two tracks. This is a caused by the "track at once" procedure. b) AerePerennius is not yet cabable of creating an iso filesystem. Therfore you can not create a data cd by selecting the directory or files you would like to be written. For now you have to create the iso filesystem by yourself using "mkisofs". What does šAere PerenniusĒ mean? This is a part of citation of Horaz. The complete citation is: Exegi monumentum aere perennius which means: I have created a statue that is even more perennial than ore.
