Hi I always burn my CDs in native form, i.e. "Mac Files and Folders" using Toast. I do this, as often when burning in ISO9660 the file names will be abbreviated. I also feel it is more appropriate to archive files in their native form. If the files are required for the NT network I can still transfer from my PowerMac or the CD using AppleTalk. I have no problem transferring files from my Mac LAN to NT network except file names should be Windows NT compatible.

We will use this as an archive system but will, from time to time, revisit these files and may want to move them to another platform. We have been told of "hybrid" CDs which print both Mac and PC formatted, duplicate data on a CD as well as ISO9660 formats which can be read on both Mac and PC platforms. This brings a question to my mind regarding the FSCII file formats which all our list mode files should be saved. I have always understood that the reason for having the FCS file format was to facilitate cross platform sharing of files. Often, higher versions of some software is needed to burn hybrid or ISO9660 disks. Toast is an example. One needs Toast Pro to do this. So, I guess my question is: what format does most people use when they burn their CDs?
