        Unfortunately that is not the case. To be honest I'm not certain in exactly
what way DirectCD does it's thing, all I know is I had terrible
compatibility with it (above my other problems). Although they "say" they
are closing it in ISO9660 I still couldn't get the disk to work reliably in
other machines. Some wouldn't see anything, others would see everything but
wouldn't be able to read reliably. This was with multiple computers and two
different burners.

        Personally, I used DVD-RAM for "floppy disk" type purposes these days, and
DVD-R for archiving. TTYL
