Subject: CD Writers, MPEG, TCP/IP etc Friends, has anyone any pointers to code or documentation for doing any of the following from DJGPP (I am writing code for a piece of clinical monitoring equipment and want if at all possible to run from a minimal DOS with DJGPP control programme, and to avoid at all costs having to use any version of Windows - but non-Windows drivers are getting hard to find) a) writing to CD recorder drives (for data archival) - most of the commercial software for this is Windows, some (high end - $$$) are Unix, there is a documented real-mode interface (ASPI) that can get round the SCSI card layer but I still need to know command set, data structures etc to create a readable CD-ROM image... b) playback of digitised video (primarily for 'help' functions) - code to read and display either MPEG (preferably), QuickTime, or AVI ('Video for Windows') - does Allegro or any of the other video libs include this (so far I have been using GRX20 and LIBJPEG (Independent JPEG group) - neither of which include much info on moving image!) c) access to a tcp/ip stack - rumour has it that WATTCP (presumably as packet driver client) has been ported to DJGPP - does anyone know if this is true ? have URL ? If people wish to reply privately to me I will summarise to the list to save newsgroup noise...
