Subject: [OT:] (How) Can a Mac read Win CDs ?


I made a couple of data CDs on a Win98 machine and gave
them to someone with a Mac. He can't even see the files. Is
there a utility for a Mac to be able to read Win format CDs or
are they just too different ? I was hoping there'd be something
like a wedge for the Mac OS so it could ignore the format. I've
talked to a couple of locals in the Mac game and it seems to
be outside their experience

TIA
