Using Prassi abCD
Introduction
Prassi abCD is a "Drive Letter Packet Writing" software for CD-RW under Microsoft Windows 95/98.
Prassi abCD is the combination of an UDF Installable File System, a simple User Interface based on a
Taskbar icon, and a Device Driver. It implements a "drive letter" for almost every CD-RW drive when
using rewritable media.
After formatting a rewritable disc for Packet Writing, you can copy files and folders to that CD-RW by
dragging and dropping or saving to the drive as you normally do with a floppy.
Installing Prassi
abCD
The installation is comprised of 3 files which are copied to the Windows System folder.
abCD.exe
is the application managing the taskbar icon, the menu and the disc format process.
PtUDF.vxd
is the UDF Windows installable file system. It manages all the requests from the Windows
File System when an abCD disc has been mounted.
PtabCD.vxd
is the CD-RW device driver that manages all the low level commands sent by both
abCD.exe (while formatting, for instance) and by the UDF Windows installable file system that answers
requests made by the Windows file system.
