DARomizer ver. 0.7 a Perl script front end for DAR (Disk Archiver)
Copyright 2004 by Michael W. Cocke <cocke@catherders.com>

DARomizer is released under the terms of the Gnu Public License 2.0
(See GPL-ver2-a.txt or http://www.gnu.org for details)

DARomizer was created specifically to speed up large backups
under Linux. DARomizer is a traffic cop that manages both DAR (to
build slices) and growisofs (to burn each slice to a cd or dvd).
DARomizer allows both programs to run in parallel; while one slice
is being burned to the media by growisofs, the next slice is being
prepared by DAR. This results in a faster backup the bigger the
backup, the bigger the time savings.

Here's the changelog:

version .7 - Added verify of burned slice. This is an OPTION because
             it can take a long time (1 hour +/-). See the
             configuration section of daromizer - set $verify to 0 to
             skip verify, 1 to perform verify.

           - Rethought timing issue - dar can get VERY FAR ahead of
             burning under certain circumstances... exhausting disk
             space with unburned slices. ungood. split off a daemon
            (named darmon, pardon the pun), so we can pause and resume
             dar even in the middle of a burn, rather than being
             restricted to before and after a burn. When dar ends
             normally, darmon will automatically end soon (within
             10 minutes) after - nothing special is required.

           - Started cleanup (internal). I want to make it easier for
             non-perl programmers to use daromizer, and easier to use
             burners other than growisofs. This is NOT done yet, just
             started!

           - After I updated my cdrtools packages, burning a DVD with
             iso9660 format failed. switching to udf format solved
             that problem. DARomizer now defaults to burning DVDs with
             growisofs in udf format. If you have an older version of
             cdrtools, you may need to change this back to iso9660.

           - Made the cleanup after a user abort (SIGINT, ctrl+c)
             automatic (IE, dar and darmon are killed, /tmp directory
             is cleaned up.)
