OK, I'll change it to "cd" then.  If the user doesn't have the appropriate
driver loaded, there's nothing that cdparanoia can do about it anyways
other than say "I don't see any drives".

I'll give you the same warning I gave Monty :-) I've tested this code on my
machine, with one IDE-SCSI cdrom rom drive.  It worked fine for me but I
won't pretend like it's been heavily tested or anything.  I also haven't
done a lot of system type C programming (I'm much more adept at C++/Java
application programming) so it's not necessarily what is considered elegant
C code - but you're certainly welcome to it if I haven't scared you yet ;-)

Later,
        Dale
