Now If there were one for Win98 that would be very good. However, that not being the case, I have to work with what I have. And formatting them to drag and drop, copying the UDF Reader file and leaving them 'as is' (until time to close them), then upon closing, closing them to be read on any CD-Rom works here. Thanks for the link though. IIRC the UDF reader is about 540Kb. Helen
