Replaces: disk/cdrom/IdentCDR.lha

This small tool checks the ATIP (Absolute Time In Pre-groove) of a CD-R media.
Usually this area is used by CD-R manufacturers to encode their brand, and some
other useful stuff, like type of media and minimum and maximum recording speed.
(Not every CD-R has the last information, try and see).
It also gives you some additional data, like maximum capacity of the CD-R and
maximum allowed recording capacity (which is always a bit less than the first
one).

See the included documentation (IdentCDR.doc) for additional information!

The information about ATIP encoding can be found at:

If IdentCDR can't identify your support, please mail me the printed values.
It should look like:

Brand unknown or no CD-R! Values are: M 97, S 29, F 55

Version history:

1.2	Added a small reqtools GUI.
	Added reading tooltypes from icon.
	Added recording length discovery/display.
	Now checks for 'prohibited' values. See the above URL for explanations.
	Finally found out how to get exec device informations from a volume
	specification (like CD1:). BPCL sucks!!!
	No longer displays obtained values on the Shell. Is this a problem for
	anyone ?
	Executable is indeed shorter than 1.1, because in 1.1 I linked some
	useless math libraries; IdentCDR is long about a tenth of the Windoze
	counterpart. But if anybody wants it, I can supply with a 300K version
	(18K of code and 282K of useless junk, just to make you happy).
	Really knows 41 brands, because FUJI uses two slots.

1.1	Fixed memory leak (46 bytes not freed).
	New method for those drives who can't use READ_TOC_PMA_ATIP.
	Some more sanity checks to ensure returned data is valid.
	Currently knows 42 brands (are these all ?). 

1.0 	Initial release
