Thanx Jerry, I've signed the CD-ROM contract with CATS and received the software. But the standards of ISO were not described in there. As well as they did not describe how to do a multiplatform CDROM. The idea with TAR is fine and I'll go and ask the people who master CDROMs over here if they do support the TAR file format. It seems that the biggest problem is getting the image on a tape and then get the tape to be read from the mastering software (of the CDROM manufacturer who usually use PC's) to the master CD. I'll have to fiddle out this game with the manufacturer. If I'm unlucky, I have to convert all files to a PC (with limited filenames) and send send the HD to the manufacturer. Hope I don't need to do this long procedure. Again, thanx. Your informations helped me.
