Saturn disk image is a tool for working with ISO 9660/Joliet disk images (.iso files). The toolkit consists of a program called Disk image creator, which can be used to create disk images using either a graphical user interface or a command-line interface, as well as a dotNET component for reading and writing disk images. The toolkit also integrates with the well-known NAnt build system, enabling software engineers to create disk images as part of their regular build scripts.

Features:

User interface:

• integrates with the well-known NAnt build system, enabling software engineers to create disk images as part of their regular build scripts.
• includes a command-line interface for automation.
• includes a graphical user interface for easy disk image creation.
• full source code available.

Code library:

• written in C# targeting the dotNET framework 2 platform.
• adheres to Microsoft´s design guidelines for class library developers.
• covered by a comprehensive suite of automated unit tests.
• the binary distribution includes xml documentation, accessible through intellisense.
• full source code available.

Supported formats:

• supports level 1 interchange according to section 10.2 of the ISO 9660 specification. This means that file names are restricted to 8+3 characters, and that interleaved files or multi-disk volumes are not supported.
• supports the Joliet extension to ISO 9660. Joliet enables long file and directory names, the use of UNICODE characters, and removes the restriction on the depth of the directory tree.

Other:

• reliability ensured by a controlled build, test and release process.

What´s New in version 1.3.2.0:

• Automatic shortening of long paths for Joliet disk images.
• GUI responsiveness improved; now a progress window is displayed when a disk image is being written.
• Bug fixes.
