Windows'95 and greater can read Amiga CDs OK.

Prehaps.  Windows will give you the long filenames OK, but there's the
chance that the odd filename will confuse it.

If you need to archive the files you'll need an archiver which handles long
filenames.  I think WinZip will do this OK, but I'm not 100% sure.
