InCD with Nero 6 demoversion? And do I really need it?

I downloaded the three packages making up the Nero 6 demoversion. I
installed each package to get the suite of programs, but there's no InCD
available.

I left a message with Ahead last week about this problem and the lack of
help system files. They replied yesterday and said InCD was part of package
3. I couldn't find it there at all. InCD isn't mentioned as being part of
any of the packages at the Ahead web site. The help files come with the
language pack and I have installed them.

Has anyone else run into this InCD problem? Some messages in this newsgroup
indicate that formatting CD-RW disks is a flaky operation at best. Should I
forget about trying to format CD-RW's?

I am using Windows XP on an HP Pavillion desktop.

Some in these cdr groups swear by the following:

"cd-rw is less reliable than cd-r, thus cd-rw is unreliable"
"cd-rw is the least reliable media, thus cd-rw is unreliable"

"Packet writing is less reliable than mastering,
thus packet writing is unreliable"

"Packet writing is the least reliable format,
thus packet writing is unreliable"

"DirectCD bugs translate into the faults of packet writing"
"DirectCD bugs translate into unreliability of cd-rw media"

Notes:
------
DirectCD does not conform to the UDF standard.
DirectCD does not set the UDF standard.
DirectCD is not the UDF standard.

Incompatibility with DCD does not translate that other packet writers
have bugs or do not conform to the UDF standard.

When it's good for even BACKUP, of all things?

Virtually no one does. Reliability and durability of erasable media are
abominable. Why buy media that do not record well to begin with, then
lose whatever information is on them?

What a yarn you spin, Mikey!

The supposedly flaky, fragile, forgetful, unreliable cd-rw media was
good enough for BACKUP, of all things, even when combined with
supposedly flaky, fragile, faulty, unreliable fixed-length packet format
-- according to none other than yourself, Mikey:

The InCD EXE file at the ftp site will install only if I have a registered
copy of Nero 6. I probably will buy the program and install the file then.
The demoversion runs until August 31. Thanks.

There's nothing about InCD on the properties sheet that comes up when I do
that.

Perhaps you are talking about this:

Combining the flaky UDF fixed-length packets with
the tendency of erasables (particularly HS) to forget
is LETHAL for archiving.

Mikey posted the above when the reports of DirectCD bugs were pouring
in.

But when Mikey was shilling for Take Two, a supposedly a backup
