Re: Accessing raw data from CD

My app needs to access raw data from a CD on a PC. This is easy under Linux
as the device is a file, so I can use, for example,

set fd [open /dev/cdrom r]

This does not work under Windows

set fd [open {d:} r]

returns an 'access denied' error

dd bs=4k if=//./A: of=./test.img
