No, these are for copying CDs. IIRC you can even use the .ISO file format to create the new CDs. Interesting, I'll investigate if that's correct. If so I'll make my Linux CDs in DOS ;-) >Another problem is USB support - it exists, but it is commercial package, >unsuitable for shareware project like Arachne. Yes, this might become a problem in the future. IMHO it isn't yet. >>*Jumping with joy* Michael may continue DOS only development of Arachne :) >>Seriously, what platform you use to create new Arachne versions is >>insignificant to me. However, what you said can be done (but probably not >>with a IDE CD-R). Golden Hawk for the CD-R, and Cubic Player for the MP3. > >Cubic Player plays MP3 files on background ? Do you want to say, that I >can launch MP3 file plaback in Cubic from Arachne, and then let's say read >my e-mail while returning to Arachne? Yes, I did notice that I got a few glitches in the music when converting JPEGs (I used Arachne to surf the Net while I played some MP3s). Well, I'm unsure about how you can launch it from inside Arachne. But it's after all called Open Cubic Player so the source is free... you'll need to make a 32-bit version of Arachne first however IMHO. //Bernie
