I am just starting programming. I have had some experience in the field from years ago. I have questions regarding creating the following:
autorun.exe
autorun.ini
linking pages on a disk even though the drive letter may be different from computer to computer
what program language do I need to research to help with a universal code for Windows (all), Mac (all) and linux operating systems.
please email all pertinent information to:
[email protected]
serious answers only please.
Thank you

autorun.exe can be any exe as long as it will run on the computer. Using a Dbpro app for this might be a bad idea as directx8.1 might not be installed.

autorun.ini is fairly obvious just look at one from another cd.

By linking pages I take it you mean html. If so just do it like on the web using relative links. html/home.htm insted of d:\html\home.htm

What is on this cd that requires it to work in win,mac and linux?
If you really want to have a universal app then you would need to say what you want it to do.

If you want a cd to be put in the drive and some program pop up then it is not possible. There is no way to do it in linux.

c++ is really the only truly universal language. i use that to create my install applications and autorun stuff. Then have that start up any DBP programs required after installing directX.
