 Well, Cool Edit is shareware. And while some of the advanced features
 are disabled, at least it doesn't have a fixed-length trial period.

 Right. Once you've started burning the CD-R, don't do /anything/
 that will cause hard drive access.
 RM>>  Right. If I'm gonna do it, I want to do a good job of it.

 Well, I have the same tendency.  However, I've been caught out by it a
 few times- discovered that I was doing things the hard way.  Makes you
 feel kind of silly when that light bulb goes on, and you realize there's
 a better way..  ;-)

 Well, I'd love to, but I don't have that one. I have _Nothing But A
 Burning Light_ and _Stealing Fire_, plus a mix tape someone turned
 me on to. But no "Tokyo"...  :-(
 What album's it from?
 re: CD-R/CD-RW support for OS/2
 CH> First the soundcard support, then the editing/conversion stuff.  
 You're an OS/2 man then, I take it? 
 If it's any comfort, the WinNT support for these things is very poor,
 too.  Of course, unlike the OS/2 support, things will likely improve
 down the road, when Win98 and WinNT merge.
 CH> It'd probably multitask better though. :-)))))
 I sincerely doubt it. It's not so much an OS issue, but the physical
 limits of the current generation of hard drives.
