Is there anybody who can give me some info on the  format of
Photo-cd files, I plan to write a photocd to jpeg converter,
running under linux (a unix clone for pc's). I realize that this
is possibly a FAQ but I checked the FAQ file and could find only
out of date information. It mentioned a NeXT program with sources
(from which I could get the info I need), but this program (pCD0
or something like that) has apparently disappeared. I wonder if
there are legal problems: photo-cd file format is 
secret/copyrighted ?

						Thanks in advance
