So xorriso is not really involved in this thread ?

If there is interest in GPT production by xorriso, then i would be
willing to implement it. Just describe the desired feature and give
me pointers to background informations.

I am not aware of pending wishes for isohybrid production.
So Colin, please give me some more hints in private, if there is anything
that xorriso should learn.


Have a nice day :)
