True enough but this would not have been possible even a year ago - I would have had to work much harder at getting it to work. BTW Bruce, are you still using OS/2 anywhere? Are you aware of any GUI software besides "RSJ" for burning CD-R(W)'s? Seems my father wasn't impressed enough to make the switch to Linux. Oh, and he's legally blind so it pretty much has to be a GUI application to suit him.
