I have found that when I used roxie cd direct that I may close a cd and
later reopen it and add more files and have it become flakey.
The issue seems to be the number of files.. It seems that the first two or
three tracks are ok but when I go back a 4th time to add files I lose the
added track
Now, for 35cents (us) I create a new disk copy the old files and add the
new ones and I am good to go.
I am now trying nero, so far so good.... but I already have created an
almost full CD-ROM.... Will know more when I go to CD-ROM 6 ( now on 5)

Your xxcopy and the short file name data base program have been very
helpful, thank you.
