SUMMARY
Windows 95/98 does not support the Rock Ridge CD-ROM extensions.
MORE INFORMATION
Rock Ridge is a method of storing POSIX file system extensions on a CD-ROM.
Windows 95/98 uses the Joliet file system for deep subdirectories and long
file names instead of the Rock Ridge CD-ROM extensions. Joliet permits the
use of Unicode characters and clarifies some ambiguities in the ISO 9660
standard while providing some additional extensions. If you need to read
Rock Ridge-formatted CD-ROMs in Windows 95/98, use the Windows 95/98
version of Mscdex.exe and the MS-DOS device drivers provided by the CD-ROM
drive's manufacturer.
