Thanks for the confirm, Brian - thought I'd done something like this - now I have another tool in the kit.

Did that and it worked great. The writable volume made developing LODRUN
code much easier; compile to QTEMP, save to
/qopt/<writable-virtual-optical-volume>, LODRUN, repeat until bug-free.

Just got an installation CD from a vendor and asked our system guy to
install the product. We do everything with image catalogs and apparently
don't have an optical drive easy to use - I can't respond to any
questions as to why that.

So I believe we can create an image catalog, then an image catalog entry
with FROMFILE(*NEW) and mount it on a virtual optical device.

Now if we copy the contents of the CD to that image catalog -
/QOPT/SOMECDID - either with FTP or a file share - is that virtual CD
usable for installing with LODRUN? IIRC, I believe that an IMGCLG IFS
object can be copied to a PC - it can be an ISO.

I also gave him an installer for Daemon Tools Lite, which can create an
image from the CD.

Just wondering about the alternative I described - I hope well enough
described!

Thanks
