Subject: saving VMS RMS file type with transfer to DOS?

I have problem that I initially dismissed as insurmountable, but
all the smart folks in this group may be able to prove me wrong.
The objective is to transfer a *lot* of files from a VAX (VMS) to a
PC running DOS/Windows. On the PC, the files are to be written to
a CD using a DOS/Win hosted CD writer. The CD is to be then read
with a CD reader mounted on a VAX. The problem is that the RMS
record type is lost in the file transfer *unless there is some
provision for this that I don't know about*. From what I know
about MS-Kermit & MS-DOS, there is no concept analagous to VMS's
RMS, and therefore no way of preserving it during file transfers.
But then, I'm not nearly the expert all of you are...
Hosting the CD writer on the VAX is not an option. There is no
requirement to use the files on the PC, other than to write them
to the CD.
Any suggestions welcome, including alternative file transfer
protocols/methods.
Thanks,
