Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club!

Greg M., 
                Some CD drives will only read "plain" 
CD's. The OS and drivers also effect what the
CD drive will read.  My W$98 computer will not
read multisession burned CD's properly even
though it will burn them just fine.

As I said,  CD's do NOT behave as predictably
as FDD's.
