Hello! It seems to me that the new Solaris 8 cdrw probably obsoletes cdrecord for making multi-session CD-RWs of data. However the data in the man page is a bit skimpy and I have not yet found a successful way to make multi-sessions. Of course there are reams of data about using cdrecord for this but I would prefer to use "cdrw" as much as I can. Can someone help me with the following? 1. What are the required mkisofs options for preparing the first data session? 2. I asume that cdrw can then write this session using the -O option and leaving the CD-RW still in the "open" state. Are there any other options needed for this stage? I believe the disk is now unreadable but can be inspected with cdrw -M? This also gives the next "writing address" and other info about the first session. 3. I want to return to the disc at a future date to write more data in a second session. Do I use the mkisofs in the same way as in 1. above? How do I use the cdrw -M data to do another open write? 4. After a 3rd session I will want to "close" the disc. What options of cdrw will close the disc and make it fully readable? Thanks for any assistance Don ############################################################### Donald F.
