[KLUG Members] cd writing

[Steve Petersen]

Yeah, tar up the info you want to put on CDs ('man tar') just like zip 
in Windows, and then split the tar file into chunks the size of the 
medium, using 'split'.  If you want the process automated, though, you 
might have to write some wrapper shell script.  Though perhaps someone's 
written a program to do this already?
