No. I know I have to either upgrade my computer by adding a USB connection
and a larger hard disc than the 1 gig I have, or, probably more sensabily,
get a new one.(Plus Photodesk I expect)

CDFS; on my computer RISC OS 3.7 and a CD reader (I got RISC OS 4 at an
exhibition at the Royal Horticultural Society Hall some time back but have
never put it in for fear of it clashing with other things such as Sibelius)

on my friends RISC OC 4.O2 with a DVD reader

On mine some of the JPEGs on the disc seem always to display, some never
and a few sometimes. I brought the disc to my friend in the hope of reading
more of them.

I have not tried to drag the failing files to the hard disc on my machine
but on my friends none will drag despite there being a complete directory
display. Any attempt to drag files or directories always gives the error
CD-ROM drive empty.
