_ Using a PC CDRW for Mac files

Hi. I'm using an iMac DV SE with a Windows 98 PC. I have an IDE CDRW on my PC. I also have a network that actually let my files been shared between the two computers.

But I have a question. Each time I want to burn some Mac files, I have to compressed it first with Stuffit. But if I have MacOpener on my PC, will I be able to burn Mac files just like that ?

Or if not, will I be able to burn Mac HFS stuff in a certain way ?

I know only of one burn software wich support's hybrid(Mac) CD's directly and that is NERO BURNING ROM.
There is one catch though, you will need to have a Scsi partition containing mac HFS and the files you want to burn. The partition must be directly conected to the PC in that case. Hopes this helps

Like i stated before use Nero to burn from a UFS partition in your win9x machine (that works like a charm)

yeah but the CD won't contain the exact file hierarchy.

Why not? it burn's a 1:1 image of the HFS partition

thanx, i've found out how to burn a "perfect" MAC files CD.

All I have to do is use Macintosh Toast. Within the application, I put everything I want to burn in the app. The, I choose "Create image".

I send this image to the PC's CDCreator, I use "Create CD from image". Then the CD will be created !!!

It works !

But i'll give you the points anyway, UFS seems pretty cool too.
