Ok, CDRecord comes with this VMS version (in a non-VMSish form but that's off topic), but I don't have a CD-RW installed on this machine.
It turns out that I need one - on DQA0, to be precise, you cannot use another. So this "product" is unusable.
A program DFY$VMSCD (version 1.18 of September 1998 is the latest) could be a solution, but that won't work properly: fails to read from logical devices anyway. So that isn't a real solution either. Alas, the author can no longer be contacted by the address stated in the documentation.
1. Am I right aboutvte requirement of a CD-RW?
2. Am I right that this MUST be on DQA0?
3. If either one is true, waht way can I create an image (ISO format) in stead of burning it on CD?
4. If any is true, I would like an addition to create CD images - not CD's - that can be transferred to another system to be burned on CD (What I like about DFY$VMSCD is the ability to _create_ bootable CD's!)

SolutionI have sent a lot of Vms software using this procedure.
Of course, I mounted the CD on Vms before to check.
never had a problem.

Re: CD image creation...
Obvious method, and I would normally have no problem doing it that way (and I usually do). But in this case, it isn't an option. The filesystem on the CD must be in VMS format (and bootable, eventually).
By the way: LD comes with VMS 7.3-1 and used by CDRECORD.COM - you SHOULDN'T use the version from the freeware CD (just the patch) - see my thread on this topic. (Off Topic: it's worthwhile to extract the procedure into a .CLD and execute it in LOGIN.COM. I wonder why it isn't in DCLTABLES in the first place).

Re: CD image creation...
LD SETUP
LD CONNECT
MOUNT LDan label logname
populate this disk
DISMOUNT LDan
LD DISCONNECT
Then FTP this containerfile to PC, burn it as an image. (Still have to find out how to do this but that's something else).
Could have thought of it myself. It's been too hot to think (over 30 C). Stupid.
Thanx Gerard.

Re: CD image creation...
it must be really hot in the Netherlands, but maybe that helps burning CDs;-) The device to use is parameter p2 to cdrecord.com,
dqa0 is just the default.
Btw. the CDrecord program did start out with SCSI support rather than IDE/ATAPI many years ago. The Yamaha 400 series Ian mentions was the classic burner to get at this time.

Re: CD image creation...
I do like VD driver too, but do make sure you use the latest version with 7.3-1, else you might run into some nasty surprises.
