Yes, a crucial part of using back-up to CD/DVD media is to ensure that the data and directory structures conform to ISO Level 1, ISO 9660 character set, that the data be written and the disc closed in a single session and that the data be verified before making any modifications to the original data. :-) Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.ozemail.com.au/~distudio/publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998
