Throughout this thread, no one has made mention of the thing
that makes automating thid process nearly impossible...

ISO9660 CD's are limited to containing filenames of no more
than 32 characters in length. At least, everytime I try to
burn a CD, those web pages I've saved that have filenames
that are longer result in a dialog box that requires me to
either type an alternate name or accept the munged version
that it creates itself. Doing this en masse would require
quite a bit of attention to detail in the utility program.

Comments?
