Thanks for the suggestion Fred, It reminded me about that time I used
Alcohol 120% to copy my AoE CD's and the same software worked with the
Visual Studio Disks. Is Ed still in the list because I sent him SUSE disks
with labels on them, I didn't know back then that it would cause a problem
:-( .

I have other disks with adhesive labels on them and they still work,
hopefully they will keep working. Once again some company forgot to put
proper warning labels on their boxes, although this is something I wasn't
expecting. Why would a company make Labels for use on Cd's if those labels
also damage the Cd's?
