    Hi Malkowski,
    Thanks a lot.Your advise worked perfectly.I could create the CD and test it on
    Solaris.
    Is there a way I can add to a CD-R CD (which contains data) ?
    I tried this with the -dummy option ;it did not work( it gave error that it
    can't write to the media)
    Regards,
    Balak
