- Marc's right. A multi-session CD-ROM is nice for PhotoCD, though it is not a
- necessity. Multi-session lets you take a half-full CD back to the processors,
- and have more images appended on to those already on the disk. But unless your
- CD-ROM is capable of reading the appended data, then you will never be able to
- access it.
