I'm not sure what the rationale was for this, but it's possibly something we want to re-think since the worm driver has some definite shortcomings. It prevents you from using the same drive as an ordinary CDROM, and the changes required were extensive enough that we couldn't support it under 2.1.5 (and most likely whatever follows it). I think I'd be happy to see the worm device go away and be replaced by something in user mode. Jordan
