"Using RSJ CD Writer you can create new CDs or copy data and audio CDs.
RSJ CD View copies all kind of CDs in just a few steps.
If you want to create a 1:1 copy of a CD, RSJ CD Copy Wizard offers the
easiest solution.
RSJ CD Writer integrates seamlessly into your operating system:
* Copy files to CDs just by drag and drop - using your favourite file
manager (i.e. Windows Explorer, WPS, ...).
* RSJ CD Writer creates "on the fly copies". Thus the data is read in
directly from the CD-ROM during the copying process - this saves time and
does not require memory space on the harddisk.
* Completely unattended, automated operation possible.
* RSJ CD Writer supports about any current CD recorder.
* and much more..."
