Okay, so we lied about 4) - nonetheless the generically-named WEBCDWRITER/WEBCDCREATOR is definitely a rare treat, even in that domain. The WebCDwriter bit runs as a daemon on a Linux box with a CD writer attached, and allows remote users (using their Java-y browsers) to copy files, stack up MP3s and wavs, and transfer whole ISOs from their own machines to the central CD-burning factory. The java client is particularly impressive (demo available on the site). While you'll still need someone to pull the CD's out of the server box when they're cooked, it seems a great way to run a "voluntary backup" system for offices. http://www.uni-bielefeld.de/~jhaeger/webCDwriter/ - is it us, or is everybody involved in Linux CD-RW called "Jorg"? >> MEMEPOOL << hasta la altavista life tries to avoid imitating popular DAVID BOWIE song: http://www.123petitions.com/sign.cgi?[EMAIL PROTECTED]$2 ...
