Amiga Extensions on Rock Ridge

ISOAmiga Rock Ridge specific extensions support the additional Amiga-bits for files. There is support for attribute "P" that stands for "pure" bit (indicating re-entrant command) and attribute "S" for script bit (indicating batch file). This includes the protection flags plus an optional comment field. These extensions were introduced by Angela Schmidt with the help of Andrew Young the primary author of the Rock Ridge Interchange Protocol and System Use Sharing Protocol. The Amiga extensions are reckognized by Amiga program MasterISO, and should also be reckognized by MakeCD and Frying Pan, but the support by latter two programs is uncredited. Amiga filesystems supporting the extensions are AmiCDFS, AsimCDFS and CacheCDFS. Users who want to access comments and protection bits of their Amiga files present on CD's could simply mount some new logical units associated to the same physical unit, but using Amiga CacheCDFS as filesystem.
