Record to CD under DOS OS ???

Does anyone know of any DOS software that will record to a CD-RW?

Has anyone ever heard of this being done?


Thanks,

I have never hear of it being done. I don't know why anyone would want to. I don't believe DOS has any kind of support for a CD burner.

Thanks Hi Ho for your reply.

I also have never heard of anyone using a CD-RW in the DOS world.

But the reason I ask was that I know a business that still uses DOS for a DOS program. They use tape to backup on. I was just thinking how nice it would be to use CD since CDs have become so popular/universal. I just think it would be nice to backup onto a CD.

I was just wondering.


Thanks,

Why dont they consider upgradeing the DOS machine, to a Windows 95 or 98 machine. DOS programs will still run on Windows 9x, and they could have their CDRW.

Mr Jackal,

I am sure an upgrade would work. But this little store has no computer literate people working there. The owner has very little of a clue as to what to do. I have offered my services before, but no go.

I just posted this thread to see what others had to say. I think it would be great to be able to backup to a CD-RW under DOS. Easier than tape. More universal media that will work on everyones computer.


Thanks for your offerings.

Another option is using Linux and dosemu, in case the program doesn't run under Windows.

EDIT:
no literate people? Never mind.
