Hi Bill,

Kermit is definitely robust enough to do what you want. You could always do the “type the file to your terminal and copy paste,” dance too. That would work for text files particularly. ON OS X at least there’s a way to save terminal output to a text file as well.
I don’t know about CDs. I’d think that might be a bit of overkill for what you want, Kermit’s pretty easy to set up.
Best,
Zack.

So is there not a device like ISO that I can copy TOO? I wouldn't think because cdrom is RO after all. and 'set rq writeenable' isn't working nor is anything to do with cdrom working.
