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 :) Thomas
