The RedSea file system is a simple, 64-bit, file system which is similar to FAT32, but with absolute block addresses instead of clus, fixed-sized 64-byte directory entries and no FAT table, just an allocation bitmap. A clus is just one 512 byte sector. Files are stored in contiguous blocks and cannot grow in size.

See $LK,"::/Kernel/BlkDev/FileSysRedSea.HC"$ and $LK,"::/Adam/Opt/Boot/DskISORedSea.HC"$.
Files with names ending in are compressed. See $LK,"::/Kernel/Compress.HC"$.
To replace ISO9660, make hard-drive partition image of a measured size and copy onto a CD/DVD starting at about sector 20, with EL TORITO booting. 512-byte sectors will be placed on top of 2048-byte CD/DCD sectors, so there will be four blocks per CD/DVD sector.
RedSea file system has no bad block table and no redundant allocation table.
