cmdpack

These are a set of utilities originally released by Neill Corlett (http:https://www.neillcorlett.com/cmdpack/), but the upstream has since vanished from the web.

I don’t plan on any major developments, but I’ll try to clean up the utilities at least a little bit. So far, the most major change is ecm’s name change to bin2ecm, and requires being called with a name of ecm2bin to do the reverse operation now. Neill’s last version, 1.03, is completely preserved as the root commit and is tagged.

Obsoleted utilities

Past versions of cmdpack included some utilities that have been deleted, deemed redundant by, and worse than, alternative programs.

  • bin2iso: Bob Doiron’s bin2iso or full CD image mounting programs like cdemu can do the job better.

  • byteswap: dd.

  • id3point: Any number of replacements, from the command line id3 program to full internet database-based bulk taggers like Picard. Take your pick.

  • subfile: dd.

  • usfv: rhash.

  • zerofill: truncate or dd.
