I USE WORD PERFECT 12 . I PEEP SOME FILES OPEN FOR 15 HOURS AT A TIME ADDING
INFORMATION DURING THIS TIME . QUESTION HOW DO I BACK UP THESE CHANGES ON MY
CD RW OR A DRIVE ?
IN WINDOWS 98 ON MY OLDER PC I COULD GO TO FILE IN THE WINDOW THAT I AM
WORKING ON , SCROLL DOWN TO SEND TO, AND SEE MY DRIVES . AT THIS TIME NONE OF
MY DRIVES ARE LISTED.
 
Hey three wheelr stop shouting!

No application can write direct to a CD to the best of my limited knowledge.

Set your WP to auto save every 10 minutes, and it will save to a location on
your hard drive.

When finished, you can write this and other files to the CD.

If you use the Windows application to write to CD and do not 'close' the CD
you can add new files to the CD.

Correct. You cannot save directly to a CD.

Yes, this is the way to do it.

Not true. The Windows burning applet is incapable of 'packet writing' which
is what you're alluding to. When you close a session, the disc is
automatically finalised.Packet writing requires third-party software - of
which there are many.

And you are wrong again, you gormless bint! One can add to a disk, as long as it isn't full or closed (finalised). If it is CD-R, leaving it open to add files is easily accomplished, until full. CD-RWs are the same, but once full, one needs to erase the disk to re-do it. One only needs PW software if they want to make the disk like a floppy, and add/delete/manipulate individual/multiple files on the fly.

What BAR stated, is in fact very true. Why don't you really learn what you "imagine" you know!
