[Info-vax] InfoServer 150

[Stephen Hoffman]

"Those are the images I am not  having fun with.  Turns out that none 
of the CD Burning software I have tried has actually burned the image 
into  a CD/R.  It appears it just copies the file to a directory  it 
creates on the CD/R.  That was with three different applications on 
Ubuntu.  I just tried on a PC that has the capability built in to 
Windows 7 and it says the image isn't an image at all. "   No commands 
used, ancient Windows versions, no tool names, no details?  Not much to 
go on.  Without knowing what you've specifically tried...

Ubuntu disk image burning instructions seem to be what would be 
required here, though there's no Ubuntu handy—and the local Kali 
systems are otherwise occupied.

Back when I was dealing with cdrecord on macOS (the device path will 
vary), here's a command that was used to burn disk images:
sudo /opt/local/bin/cdrecord dev=IODVDServices  ~/Downloads/{disk image 
name}.iso

On recent OpenVMS, the CREATE/RECORDABLE_MEDIA command should work with 
these images, as should the cdrecord tool.

Back a dozen years or so ago and when I was more commonly using 
Microsoft Windows, CDburnerXP was commonly used for generating optical 
media containing OpenVMS-related disk images.

Using tools that assume or use or that probe for ISO-9660 or other 
volume formats or that expect to be copying files and/or generating a 
specific volume format on the target volume will fail here.

Or use a current OpenVMS I64 or OpenVMS Alpha system and host-based InfoServer.
