I don't know if he does, but Jan could use that to create the ISO image that
we download.

The thing to remember is that an ISO image is a complete CD all in itself. If
you have the right IFS loaded, you can read from and write to ISO images as if
they were physical CDs.


Another way to think of it: 

An ISO image is like a drive image that contains all the partitioning and
formatting information as well as any files. You write tham to completely
blank physical CDs and they provide everything.

The typical "Create Data CD" job involves putting a bunch of files onto a
physical CD. In addition to the files themselves, the program also has to
provide the equivalent of formatting etc.
