Well, that answers some of the quesitons. ;) A *lot* more detail is
useful -- such as, is the program done already? Is the intention to
write a hybrid disc? How about making it a shockfile that loads in a
browser (then you cuold do an ISO burn for both platforms)?
Also you'll probably want to use Toast on the Mac to do this.
I've got a chapter on this topic in my book actually. This kind of
question is a pretty involved one -- more so than it appears on the
surface. Until you actually have done a couple burns, after which
it's really quite simple.
