You can get mkisofs and cdrecord for Windows via cygwin (Cygnus' GNU
on Windows).  Just search for Win32 and mkisofs and/or cdrecord to
find some packages.

I have users master their own ISO images with either a simple
Windows batch (no error checking) or a complex UNIX tcsh script
(with _full_error_checking_, i.e. input files/directories).  Let me
know if you want a copy of the later.
