To bad about reverting but you gotta do what you gotta do. Anyway your right,
VPC sucks
for what you're doing. But mkisofs may not be as daunting as you may think. As
far as
Dreamcast software is concerned the Mac doesn't do such a bad job. The hardest
part is
jumping through the hoops of information. With the latest intel Macs cross
plat-forming
should become easier. But what do I know? I can barely program a blip on a
screen.

Great skins on your OS 9 make over. Thanks for what you've done for the
community so
far.
Later :)
