An ISO is a disk image format developed by an international standards
organization in a specific format. This standard is not proprietary, so it
can be used by all. It can contain all of the information contained on most
optical CD / DVD disks, except for most copy protected disks. Programs to
copy the contents to a hard disk in the ISO format can be stored away safely
and distributed across the Internet, like a Linux Operating System,
Microsoft Office, or a device driver disk. Another common utility is an ISO
burner, which can write an ISO file back to an optical disk. There are many
other helpful utilities for ISO files. Mounting an ISO file is exactly like
inserting a disk into your optical drive.

substance, value, and content that I just try to make sure that I am working
on things that matter.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] ISO????
Can someone explain "ISO" to me and what would be a good reason for either
creating an ISO CD and/or virtual drive on my PC? Thanks.
