What is KIso ? KIso is a graphical user interface for KDE 3.x which has the purpose to make it as easy as possible to: * Open ISO and NRG images. * Create an ISO image from CD. * Easy and convenient creation of own ISO images. * Convert NRG to ISO images. * Convert BIN/CUE to ISO images. * Convert MDF to ISO images. * Convert CDI to ISO images. * Convert CCD/IMG to ISO images. * Convert C2D to ISO images. * Mount ISO/NRG images as virtual drive. * Extract the content of an ISO/NRG image. * Create bootable images. Why does KIso exist ? Well, we all know Microsoft's Windows I think, though many people wish they had never made it's acquaintance. :) Like nearly every mortal who is in pocess of a PC I also got familliar with it before I discovered Linux about the late 90's of the last century. From Windoofs (sorry..) I mean Windows I knew programs like WinISO(tm) and ISOBuster(tm) and I did not find anything compareable for Linux, though it already offers everything that's needed for it. So I started writing KIso to combine all the abilities of Linux concerning the work with ISO images in one easy to use GUI. How is KIso written ? KIso 0.1 and KISO 0.1.1 are completely written in GAMBAS. Due to the fact that Gambas itself is still Alpha and constantly changing and C++ gives more opportunities and is more independant, I decided to dare a rewrite in C++. So from KIso 0.2 on KIso is written in C++. What is the current version of KIso ? The current release of KIso is KIso 0.8.3. You can download it in the download section. Under which licence is KIso published ? KIso is published under the GPL. For more information see: GNU General Public License What are the future plans for KIso ? The plans for the future so far are: * Full support for BIN/CUE files. * Bug fixes, bug fixes and last but not least bug fixes. |
