Steven:
I believe that you are missing my point. There are two (2) ways to run RSJ. They are:

1. The normal RSJ installation and the resulting CONFIG.SYS file setup

2. A modified installation involving Daniela's drivers

The advantage of using Daniela's method, is that it provides you with a "back door" use of your CD writer
hardware unit. That is, with her back door you can use your CD hardware as a CD-ROM unit (read only unit)
without having to load RSJ and "attach" the unit. Your unit is available all the time for reading. If you want to write
CD's, however, you then have to use RSJ and attach it.

Without Daniela's drivers and back door you have to load RSJ and attach your unit to use it for anything at all,
including just to read CD's.

I use Daniela's back door. Hence, per HER INSTRUCTIONS, I have the

BASEDEV=OS2ASPI.DMD /ALL
DEVICE=[path]\ASPIROUT.SYS

lines in my CONFIG.SYS. Also, per her instructions I have the RSJIDECD.FLT and LOCKCDR.FLT lines
REM'ed out (these lines came from the original RSJ installation)

Now, Jack appears to have a CONFIG.SYS setup that is 1/2 original RSJ setup and 1/2 Daniela's setup. He
has the lines for the OS2ASPI.DMD /ALL and the DEVICE=[path]\ASPIROUT.SYS in his CONFIG.SYS, per
Daniela's instructions. But he also has the lines for the RSJIDECD.FLT and LOCKCDR.FLT. That is, those 2
lines are not REM'ed out, as they should be, if he's going to use Daniela's back door. He needs to do it one
way or the other. Either:

1. Get rid of the OS2ASPI.DMD /ALL and the DEVICE=[path]\ASPIROUT.SYS lines; or

2. REM out the RSJIDECD.FLT and LOCKCDR.FLT lines
