How can I compress or encrypt data on a CD-ROM?
The easiest way is to use your favorite compression or encryption utility and process the files before putting them on the CD. However, this isn’t transparent to the end user. CRI-X3 enables programs like DoubleSpace to work on a CD. It’s intended for a publisher or for significant internal use, and the licensing is priced accordingly. See http://www.cdrominc.com/. (Side note: the company filed patent infringement suits against Traxdata and CeQuadrat in Sep 1998 for distributing CD compression software. This might account for the dearth of similar applications.) A straightforward solution is to write all of the files onto the disc as .ZIP files, and then use ZipMagic (formerly ZipFolders) to view the contents. It can be found at http://www.ontrack.com/zipmagic/. PGP at http://www.nai.com/ (was http://www.pgp.com/) has some good encryption software, but none of it seems directly applicable to software distribution. PGPdisk, available for the Mac, might be useful but it isn’t clear wheth
