Hi,
> All the "isohybrid.exe" I know of are based on the Perl variant.
I just got one from
http://www.filewatcher.com/m/isohybrid.exe.39568-0.html
Its strings seem not to stem from isohybrid.pl.
Digging in slitaz source brought a shell script (that would be
variant #5 then):
http://hg.slitaz.org/wok/file/313b384e2a06/syslinux/stuff/tools/isohybrid.sh
But isohybrid.exe must have a different source.
How about this as source of variant #4 (isohybrid.exe):
http://cook.slitaz.org/cooker.cgi?stuff=syslinux/stuff/iso2exe/iso2exe.c
Despite its name it has:
return "Usage: isohybrid.exe file.iso [--forced]\n";
and many of the other strings which i see in "isohybrid.exe".

Yeah. It also has problems with large (image) file support.
Already reported in may and diagnosed by hpa:

This brings of course the question how to do this on MS-Windows.
That's why i asked for a DOS exe that can handle 43 bit file byte
addressing (32 bit ISO block count + 11 bits usual block size)
Further there is the freshly spotted misnomer "AFP" in the help
text of isohybrid.c. It should be "APM".
----------------------------------------------------------------
Known Variants up to now:
- isohybrid.in -> isohybrid.pl from SYSLINUX, no EFI/GPT support
- isohybrid.c -> isohybrid from SYSLINUX
- libisofs/make_isohybrid_mbr.c from libburnia, needs isohdp[fp]x*.bin
-> libisofs, xorriso from SYSLINUX
- isohybrid.sh from SliTaz, no EFI/GPT support
- iso2exe.c -> isohybrid.exe from SliTaz, no EFI/GPT support
----------------------------------------------------------------
If somebody wants to assess the quality, i would propose to inspect
the resulting ISOs by xorriso >= 1.3.7
xorriso -indev image.iso \
-report_el_torito plain \
-report_system_area plain
It knows El Torito, MBR, GPT, and APM and complains about some known
flaws or pitfalls.
Have a nice day :)
