As I mentioned, I've not tried cdrecord (I downloaded xcdroast a long while
ago, got frustrated with it, and never really used it).  I am still using a
version of cdwrite I hacked up for one of the Creative (Ricoh) recorders. I
guess I should investigate cdrecord and revisit xcdroast.

You don't really want the writes to be 'separate', since you want one
ISO9660 file system that contains the contents for the entire disc.
When writing the next session, you need to get mkisofs to merge what
was already in the other sessions (-M).

If the disc appears to be CD-Extra, it suggests that the track numbering
is wrong (or the latest PVD is wrong), and it is thinking that there is
data before the start of track 1.

(When in the Microsoft empire, I've used Adaptec's DirectCD, B's Recorder,
and Creative's CD-RAssist... for making multisession discs.)

Next TLUG meeting is Saturday Dec. 13, 1997  (possibly Nov. 13?)
