Windows only burns windows.

And if you want to get really complicated...
You can also make a 'Custom ISO Hybrid' on the Mac (Toast)... so the Mac users see one set of files (and arrangement), and the Windows users see a different set. (It's effectively 2 volumes on one disc)
Media files such as JPEG can be shared between the 2 volumes to save space, so you can have say 600MB of JPEG files, while the PC and Mac users see only the files you want them to see...
It's all explained in the ReadMe's that come with Toast..

now here's a problem:
how do you burn a CD on PC, then have it read on a MAC without all the files being shortened and in uppercase?

Try and stick to 8 dot 3 filenames... I know it's difficult, but you'll get stung overwise!

you shouldn't have to stick to 8dot3...often you don't have that choice because of the clients requirements...
I'm not sure about OS9 and OSX behaviour on this... but I think you can select CD formats that give proper long names on OS9 or at least OSX..
or use a Mac to do it..
