Actually in Toast there is a settings page where you choose Windows Joliet
or dos filenames for your ISO partition and you select the Mac partition
settings separately. For a hybrid disk On the Mac toast allows you to create
an ISO volume from a folder while the Mac volume has to be created from a
separate volume or partition on your hard drive (zip or jazz disk etc. Toast
will even create a temporary partition on your hard drive for the Mac
Volume. Interestingly, both can be set up to autoplay on insertion.

I sometimes store info on HTML files written to CD for distribution. Anyone
got an elegant way to get the start page to autoplay on insertion regardless
of the browser on the machine? You can't just set up the index.htm file as
the autoplay run file, it has to be executable file and when it doesnt start
up it makes it difficult to open the CD from the disk image, confusing some
users. Perhaps a .bat file or something more elegant. Win2000 doesn't
support applescript does it? ;>)
