You can easily share an external USB drive or a printer over a network. But why can"t you share all the rest of your USB devices just as easily? Lab instruments, scanners, cameras, card readers, bar code scanners, PDAs, USB keys and others are usually considered to be non-shareable. Thus, normally you need to move your USB devices from one computer to another. Sometimes, though, this is not an easy task, especially when you need to use a device that is physically located in another building or even another city.

ZylBurner is a CD, DVD and Bluray burner Delphi & C++Builder component. It is based on NeroCmd utility, so it needs Nero Burning ROM to be installed. This component is very easy to use, it's ideal for developers for quick CD and DVD writing purposes from Delphi or C++Builder. The component works in two modes: synchronous mode and asynchronous mode. In synchronous mode the operational functions (Burn, Erase, BurnImage, Eject) always wait for the end of the current operation and return a value which indicates if the operation was successful or not. In synchronous mode the return value of the operational functions is always 0, and the functions don't wait for the end of the current operation. You can use it to burn data CDs, DVDs and Blurays, audio CDs, video CDs, supervideo CDs and video DVDs.
