    Burning CDs, Unix -> PC -> Unix

    I hope somebody here can help.

    OK we have a client who wants to move some data from Zip disks to Compact Disks. We are going to provide that service. They use the Unix operating system, we are using Win2k. We don't want to view the Data, we just want to move it from Zip disk to CD using Easy CD Creator 5 by Roxio. Will there be any catches to this? Is there any kind of information I need to know from the client to know if this is possible? Any help/information would be greatly appreciated.

    The data should move across okay because a file is a file.
    You'd just have to get the data off the unix system first. Thats going to be the problem. So you'd have to network the systems, or laplink them or whatever.

    What would be easier is if you just made an image of the drive onto another hdd, but thats another matter

    The files are already stored on Zip disks, apparently (from what I've found on the net) the zip disks just need to conform to ISO 9660 in order to be read by our machine and then burnt using the same format.
