[Discussion] Trouble installing CDRecord

[Stratton McAllister]

Tom,

Yes, my letter is still in my inbox too -- undoubtedly for the same reason.  
I had forgotten that I had sent it, and I don't seem to have received any 
replies.

I do use both mkisofs.exe and cdrecord.exe regularly from the command line 
and in a REXX cmd file, but IIRC, I never did get the installation procedure 
to work.

Hmm. My problem (Warp3C withOUT ANY FPs!): CD-Record installs but
doesn't run. I'll be updating the system, of course.

I noticed your letter was still within my Inbox (most likely because I
didn't ever see any reply) as I was clearing the Inbox out, today.
