Ian, I have implemented perl scripts to mount and unmount a
number of virtual CDs off of a server dedicated for that purpose.
This can be accomplished with free or GNU software. I have
created a method for tracking the use of these CDs. If the NT is on
a network, this approach may work for you. Let me know if you are
interested and I will get you more information.
