The bogus program is listed as CD-IT.ZIP and is SUPPOSED to be written by Chinon America (there is no such branch of Chinon) and promises to make your CD-ROM drive into a CD WRITE drive. Neat trick, but it ain't possible. All it does is break your heart. Be advised, do NOT try this program. Happy landings.
