I have another idea... cdrecord has been ported to Windows NT, and I have
used the NT port to burn CD's.  The advantages over nero are that cdrecord
is free (open source) software, and that one could write a single set of
instructions that work in both Unix and NT.

The a precompiled NT port of cdrecord can be downloaded from:
ftp://cdrecord.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/win32/cdrtools-1.10a04-win32-bin.zip

I don't know how well the NT cdrecord works with ATAPI drives, if at all.
