I'd suggest creating a contiguous file the size of the CD on the VMS system,
mounting it as a virtual disk (using Glenn Everhart's driver), then copying
the file down to the PC and telling your CD recording software to burn a CD
using that file as an image. The Golden Hawk (http://www.goldenhawk.com) CD
software can do this, for example.
That will give you a regular ODS-2 CD you can mount on a VMS system.
Newer VMS versions can mount ISO CD's, so if you wanted to skip the virtual
disk stuff on the VMS system, you could just store the files in a form that
preserves the file attributes when the file is extracted - Kermit, as Frank
mentioned, BACKUP savesets (if you fiddle the record size), .ZIP files, .TLB
files, etc. But you lose direct access to the files without first extracting
them.
