Re: [Opencd-devel] Uploaded HTML Based Installer

[Martin S. <bud...@bu...>]

Just got the OpenCDjs.zip

Good work Jon, 

So far my only negative comment is should we be using gif
format images ?

What is the status on the unisys(?) patent on them

Let's either stick to jpg or png

Can we have the source code for the autorun.exe as well.
