cd burning software for Solaris 10 SPARC

I have an Ultra 10 (440MHz/1GB RAM/20GB) running Solaris 10 and just
replaced the CDROM with a CDRW drive. What burning software is
available for it, or is there any at all. I'd like to be able to back
up my work to CD.

cdrecord is 3rd party. i don't use it myself but i think
it is highly regarded.

Why do you recommend a program that hast been written after a better program
did exist for a long time?

man cdrecord; man mkisofs; man cdda2wav

Cdrecord is the promary CD/DVD writing application for Solaris.
It started in late 1995 (for CDs) and it supports DVDs since February 1998.

Cdrw started in 2001 and did never catch up with cdrecord.

Although I think cdrecord _is_ more advanced than cdrw you, as author
of cdrecord, always will say cdrecord is better ;-)

That might be true, but for just plain burning of my CD's and DVD's
(ISO files) I always use "cdrw -i file.iso" and never have errors. All
is taken care off. Fnding my drive, the right speed, all's OK. Never a
bad CD/DVD either. So what's wrong with cdrw? Is does a pretty good
job without the need of scsi emulation. I never liked it for my IDE
burners. Cdrw doesn't need it. why should cdrecord insist on using it?

Probably for most users, it "just works".

Most users _believe_ that it works because it never prints error messages.

A childish reaction.. unworthy of your qualities.

I believe that it works because my CD/DVD's just work.
