Current batch.  At least the one I have is _supposed_ to work...
I should be up NeXT week (ordered the drive today :-), I'll let everyone know.

According to my NeXTrep, that is so.  Do you have any PhotoCD's to test it on?

The program I have is NOT a Reader.app (sorry for the mix up), it merely
converts PhotoCD images to portable pixmap format (pbm plus util format)
so you can use it in other things (can you say tiff? :-)

It is freely distributeable but not PD.  It is called hpcdtoppm.

Thor
