A few notes about multisession:
-------------------------------

The multisession support in mkisofs is quite buggy at the moment; I've had some
success by turning off joliet and RR support and turning on "No deep directory
reallocation". Until it gets fixed, I recommend you not to use it!

*Update*: Most multisessions bugs in mkisofs appears to be fixed now (cdrtools
1.8.1 and newer). Note: I've been having some problems using RR and
multisession, and the todo-list for cdrtools implies there is work to be done
in this area yet.

Anyway, here is an example on how to use it:

First session:

Add files to be burned in data files.
In the Burn tab, mark:
*Data Files, no image (alternativly, make an image first and use it)
*Get size (I'm not sure this is necessary, but it doesn't hurt AFAIK)
*Multisession
Leave path to old session empty
Start burning

For the next sessions:

Add files to be burned in data files.
In the Burn tab, mark:
*ISO-9660 Image
*Get size
*Multisession
Path to old session: /dev/scd0 (you must fill in this before creating the image)
Create image from files (1)
Start burning

(1) starting from version 0.1.35 it should be possible to omit this step and
use "Data files, no image" as source.

(gcombust now also have an "Use Data" and "CDplus" option for use with
multisession, but if you don't understand what they do, chances are you
shouldn't be using them anyway).

Hello

I use gcombust for burning my CD's from a CDWriter attached to a linux
box. In your README file you mentioned that multisession is buggy and you
need to turn off RR and Joliet fot it to work. But if we turn off Joliet
then reading a CD on a win95 system is difficult. So I experimented on the
various combinations and found a successful combination which works
stably.

Here it is,

In gcombust you need to toggle the following options


General filesystem options
	Rock Ridge	on
	Anony. RR	off
	Allow 32 char	off
	Joliet		on
	Generate TRANS	on

More apecialised options
	Omit trailing period	off
	No deep directory	off
	Allow files to begin	on
	Omit version no		off
	Bootable CD		on/off
	Hide rr_moved		off

With this combination I found that the CD's have proper multisession
support from gcombust and the CD's written this way can be viewed properly
on any system.

I am an admirer of gcombust and I thank you for providing this software
for free.
