1. [OT] ISO files

Hello everybody again,

Does any body know what to do with .BUP, .ISO, and .VOP files once you get
  'em?

 Do you have to have a DVD R/W at that point?

Hi Don,


With the correct software you could burn your own CD, or you could
use a program that gives you a 'virtual' CD drive where you could
mount the ISO (or other standard).  Once mounted, the virtual CD
acts the same as the original CD but you dont need to put anything
in the drive!  Works out very nice and fast too.  When you need
another CD (ISO) you simply mount the new one, then you have that
'CD' in the virtual drive.  Nice!
Only problem is if your hard drive crashes you need to ripp all
your CD's again ha ha, and you need a decent amount of hard drive
space to store several CD ISO's.
Another good point is you could store all your ISO's onto a
DVD disk.  I think it's like 7 or 8 CD's fit on one DVD 4.5GB disk.


Take care,
Al

E boa sorte com sua programacao Euphoria!

Hello Al,

I'm sorry I made mistake in my post it should have said:

 Does any body know what to do with .BUP, .IFO, and .VOP files once you get
 'em? 

 Do you have to have a DVD R/W at that point?
