HyCD Technology

HyCD integrates PC, Macintosh, and UNIX file formats onto a single CD-ROM. HyCD is compliant to all of the existing CD-ROM Standards. Every feature of the existing computing environment is integrated and preserved; therefore, these CD-ROMs are accessible in the native environment of PC, Macintosh, UNIX, and Windows 95 systems.


Why make a CD for PC only, or one for Mac only, or one for UNIX only when you can make a single CD to support ALL platforms with just a click of a few buttons.

HyCD is a perfect fit for CD archival and  Internet/CD-ROM publishing.
