It does not exist (yet). DirtectCD writes using a different file system developed for writable CDs and DVDs. It understands limits on how these beasts must write. This means support for this file system (UDF) needs to be written for FreeBSD. It is brought up from time to time, but it's not been done, yet. The last message I saw was that someone was going to dedicate some time to writing it, but I don't know just when it will show up. Even if I can't write UDF disks (and I don't have a CD-RW on my FreeBSD box), I'd love to at least be able to read them! R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
