history

Project history and usage

Iso9660 Analyzer Tool, packaged as `iat`, is a small C command-line utility for detecting several CD-ROM image container formats and converting them into ISO-9660 images.

Project history

The preserved SourceForge project page identifies the BerliOS-era project as alpha-status software, registered on 2006-06-01, with a 2014-06-09 project update. Its description emphasizes detection of image-file structure rather than a large suite of disk-authoring features.

Adoption history

iat survived mostly through distribution packaging. Debian carries it in the `otherosfs` section, describes support for BIN, MDF, PDI, CDI, NRG, and B5I input formats, and publishes source packages; Homebrew also packages version 0.1.7 for macOS and Linux users.

How it is used

The package fits the rescue-and-conversion corner of Unix tooling: users install a tiny CLI when they need to turn legacy CD-ROM image formats into a plain ISO-9660 image that other tools can mount, inspect, or burn.

Why package nerds care

iat is interesting less for active upstream development than for preservation. It is a BerliOS-origin utility that remains reachable through SourceForge, Debian, Nix, Ubuntu, and Homebrew metadata, showing how small file-format converters persist in package ecosystems long after their hosting history changes.

Timeline
