Hello:

I know that there is a DOS CD-writer program that comes with the FreeDOS
distro, version 1.0, which I have installed on several of my computers.

I can't tell you whether that program works for me because I haven't
even tried to test it yet. 

I just haven't gotten around to looking into it.  I haven't even done an
RTFM on it.  I would suppose that in order to use the program I might
need to download and install a DOS-based CD-ROM driver, one that is
specific for my make and model of CD-ROM writer.
