Mac files can reside on a NT File server, that was why I was asking
what OS the PC was running.

There are also file software packages that you can load on a PC
that will allow you to create a folder that will be usable by a Mac as
well

The other thing I would look at is moving the CD-Burner over to the
Mac. If it is SCSI it could relatively easily transfered to a Imac,
especially if it is all ready and external unit. If it was USB it would
be even easier !

Mac files can not reside on a PC, I seriously doubt there is any way to burn
Mac CD's with a PC, networked or not. The only possible way as far as I am
aware, would be to Binhex (a form of compression that protects and allows
Mac files to reside on a PC) your Mac files and then burn a disk full of
compressed files.
