We use the Adaptec Toast software on a Mac - as far as we know, it's the
only
software that permits to write "Mac/ISO-hybrid" CDs. It creates a Mac
HFS session
containing the Resource forks for Mac use and kind of aliases to the
data
forks in an ISO image which is accessible fom PC and UNIX, so the data
forks
are only once written to the CD.
Hope this will help
