I am afraid my question was misinterpreted. I am not looking for a CD/DVD
image creator (I already have an expensive one that also does Blu-ray
images), but a hard-disk and floppy-disk image editor that would let me
read from (and write to) VHD and VFD images when not running my virtual
machine. In other words, an app that handles VHD/VFD files in a manner
similar to the way 7Zip handles 7Z/ZIP/TAR archives.
The idea of making a CD ISO image would work if you only wanted to import
files from the host OS into the VM (like, for example, an externally
modified CONFIG.SYS and/or AUTOEXEC.BAT for a Japanese FreeDOS/V or
FreeDOS/98 setup in case you cannot peacefully deal with the VM or emulator
misinterpreting your 101-key keyboard as if it were a Japanese 106-keyer,
thus preventing you from typing some important ASCII symbols).
But what if you wanted to export files from the VM (like, i.e., a music
file compiled from a MML source by an old music compiler like KAJA's
MC.EXE) out to the host OS (in my case, Win10 x64)? That's where I need a
disk image editor.
