- For the benefit of lookers-on, do realize that CD-audio can be included on a
- data CD-ROM (thanks to the ISO-9660 standard). Just wanted to make sure that
- people didn't think otherwise. (Examples: Willy Beamish for the Sega-CD and
- Stellar-7 for MS-DOS both combine CD-audio tracks and CD-data tracks on the same
- disc.)
- BTW Paul, I'm glad you're posting - the info and views are refreshing.
