	this may not be as usefull as it sounds.  since the idea is to
	mass-produce data and files on these 1/2 gigabyte CD's the
	potential for an error to cause lots of damage is high.

The potential for error ought to be very low.  CD encoded music contains
ample amounts of error detection and correction information.  The chances
of errors going by undetected are at least as small as on magnetic discs.
