Replaced Mac OS X's C++ cdrom code with almost-direct translation to C. Sam requested this effort on the mailing list, apparently because of binary compatibility issues between 10.4 and earlier systems (or gcc4 and earlier compilers?). Works fine with SDL12/test/testcdrom.c, with this command line: ./testcdrom -status -list -play -sleep 5000 -pause -sleep 3000 -resume \ -sleep 5000 -stop -sleep 3000 -play -sleep 3000 -stop \ -sleep 3000 -eject Unix Makefiles work, XCode project still need updating for new filenames.

><P
>The SDL library is designed to make it easy to write games that run on Linux, *BSD, MacOS, Win32 and BeOS using the various native high-performance media interfaces, (for video, audio, etc) and presenting a single source-code level API to your application. SDL is a fairly low level API, but using it, completely portable applications can be written with a great deal of flexibility.</P
