We'll know when/if we ever see Inside PhotoCD Vols. I-VI.

And Chuq:  just because Apple does it (and apparently pretty darned well),
doesn't mean at all that anyone else in business has figured it out.  I
wouldn't make the same assumptions that you have, not at all, not if I were
making my business depend on it.  That would be dangerous.  Kodak has no
tradition of such support in this area.
