DAA2ISO version 0.1.7a available (port) (Announce)

On 12 December 2008 I finished my 32-bit DOS port of Luigi Auriemma's DAA2ISO version 0.1.7a using DJGPP version 2.04 beta.

A binary, a user manual in ASCII format, and fully configured sources plus some simple instructions on how to rebuild are available at http://www.bttr-software.de/ports/.

Changes from version 0.1.6:
- full support of two other shameful ways used by PowerISO for obfuscating the data: the swapping of the 3 decompression functions in the inflate algorithm and another senseless encoding of the index table
- substituited the decompression library from zlib to the more simple and tiny tinf library which has allowed me to add support to a small and unusual difference in the inflate algorithm used in PowerISO which caused the failure of daa2iso with some DAA files, continued the research on some unused or rarely used fields of the DAA file format

Thanks for your work. I haven't burnt any CDs in DOS so far but now I have a DVD write drive on my DOS only machine so I will start to experiment :-P
