     Does anyone have experience and advice about producing writeable
     CDROMS? As part of the Library's copying service we produce
     duplicate film, and paper copies from 35mm microfilm. We are now
     looking at supplying CDROM copies via a Mekel digitiser. What we
     need is some sort of 'front end' which can be loaded onto the
     CDROMs and will ensure that the files can recognised and accessed
     by whatever machine the customer has. Also things like
     instructions, a copyright warning and maybe a bit of graphics
     need to be added.

If we used someone elses software, Adobe Acrobat for example, would we have to pay a fee every time we sold a disk.
