I found I could burn files to the CD in a variety of ways but I can't get them back again. I've used dd and burncd to put the file onto a CD and dd sometimes gets something back too, but never works properly. Any ideas how to do this properly? -- /Xian "As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain, as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality." Albert Einstein
