OpenVMS, CD-R and ISO 9660 Media? (CD-ROM)

» close window

The Question is:

 
we are trying to deal with the issue of writing CD-ROM's on a PC system
which can be used to install on OpenVMS.
 
We have a particular CD which is said to be ISO-9660, and OpenVMS mounts it
fine.
 
The problem is that all of the filenames are in lower-case, and there
doesn't seem to be any way to access them via DCL.
 
They can be copied elsewhere by using a wildcard:
 
  $ copy dev:[0,0]*.*; []
 
but I don't seem to have a way to address them directly from DCL.
 
It seems like there should be a way of handling this.
 
 
 
 
 

The Answer is :

 
  Please see the information in the OpenVMS FAQ around writing CD-R media
  directly on OpenVMS.
 
  If you pursue your current approach, the Wizard would suggest using
  uppercase for the filenames.
