Just curious ... aren't there funnies because CD's are normally 1024 byte
blocks and disks are usually 512?    IIRC, there are places that store
numbers of blocks (not bytes), and you have to be careful.    I have

IIRC one of things  we might have done at DEC was mess with the block size
on a CD -- that's a Tim Litt type question.   Those bits are so long ago
depreciated/garbage collected in my acitve brain cells. ;-)
