Picture CDs ?

[Pedro F. Giffuni]

Hi;
The PictureCD mounted with the same command suggested by the mount_cd9660 page
for PhotoCDs.

I think the difference is that while Picture CDs use jpeg, the PhotoCDs use a
Kodak proprietary format.
I just learned that the netpbm distributed via Ibiblio has a PhotoCD converter
available (it was removed from the netpbm in sourceforge because it's not
extrictly "opensource".

cheers,

    PEdro.
