Jerome Fine replies:

Thank you for the reminder. However, since there are 20 RT-11
partitions for a CD and each partition requires its own RT-11
directory at the very beginning (every 65536 blocks or 33,554,432
bytes), the correct order is not that simple.

Thus far, I have received an address which should provide the
file structure of the ISO-9660 CD media.

I was hoping that a Windows 98 version of mkiosofs was available
which allows a user to copy files to a hard disk file in preparation
to burn that CD image. Evidentially a TOC (Table of Contents)
is set up for the file structure when the files are burn to the CD
media.

Sincerely yours,

Jerome Fine
