The Kanji support in MSCDEX presently recognizes High Sierra CD-ROM discs with a coded character set that has bit 0 set to 1 in the volume flags indicating at least one escape sequence is not registered according to ISO 2375, and has an escape sequence of
three bytes in the coded character set for descriptor identifiers field of "$+:". This indicates that the character set is a private multi-byte G3 coded character set and identifies the disc as having shift-Kanji.
\par
\par In order to make MSCDEX scan for the SV
D (Supplementary Volume Descriptor) instead of the PVD (Primary Volume Descriptor), there is a new command line argument /K. If this is present, MSCDEX will use the shift-Kanji SVD if it is present, otherwise it will use the PVD. All discs are required by
ISO-9660 to have a PVD even if there is an SVD.
\par
\par
\par In addition, there is an accompanying program SVD that can be used to change the default preference each CD-ROM drive has for scanning for a SVD or PVD. The syntax is:
\par
\par {\b\f2 SVD [: ]
\par }
\par \pard \qj\sl240 Running SVD with no arguments will report the current settings. Including a drive letter and either STD or SVD will change the preference for that drive from one to the other.

  1. Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

  2. This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

  3. But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
