On the question of how you create CD-ROMs that can be read by both IBM and Macintosh systems there are several levels to the issue. One level is the actual format of the CD itself. Some CD-R systems let you create dual mode CDs that have Macintosh and DOS/Windows sections. On those the Mac only "sees" the section made for the Mac and vice versa for the DOS/Windows section. Another way to do it is create a CD that meets the ISO 9660 format guidelines. Both Mac and DOS/Windows systems can "see" files on an ISO 9660 CD. Another option would be to put the Mac material in a Mac partition, the DOS/Windows material in a DOS/Windows partition, and the files that will be used by both in an ISO 9660 partition. I think the JVC Personal ROMmaker will do that as will many other CD-ROM recorders/software systems.
