The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
As one of the providers of premastering software, I'll take a shot here.
CD is still the same - if using tape you use an API to set (reset?) a flag
in the SAV process. Then you either take the tape to a duplicator company
or get the save images off the tape to your PC. Our product helps do this.
There's still no specific support for spanning volumes. We provide some
suggestions here, but it usually involves some development work on your
part - not hard, just necessary. "Load next volume" messages, etc.
With DVD, I believe there is internal and external DVD-RAM - it is writable
and I believe saves can be done to it directly, replacing tape. According
to IBM, here are its capablities:
The drive will read CD-ROM,CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-ROM, and DVD-RAM media. It can
write only DVD-RAM media.
Presumably, products could be written to this directly, with the usual
SAVxxx suspects.

What is the current status of writing software to a cd-rom or dvd
with the new iSeries? And how are multivolume writes handled?
Or is it just easier to use a pc product?
