I know of one program that can create rockridge iso images on Win**
machines (actually it can create clean iso, joliet, rockridge and hfs on
win, unix and mac) .
It doesn't burn, only makes image.

see http://www.cdeverywhere.com

I haven't tried it yet, so don't blame me if it doesn't work.

A solution I used:
* create a directory tree on the harddisk with the correct filenames
(with dots and minusses and capitals on the rights place.
* create a file with "dir /s > index.txt" in the top of the tree
* create a cd with the tree (and index.txt) on it. Use only ISO level 1,
no long filenames!
on the unix machine:
* copy the cd to an empty tree
* write a perl script to read the index.txt. It has the short file name
in col 1-8, extension in col 10-12 and the long filename from col 45 or
something like that. Ignore empty lines, lines with space in first col
and lines starting with "." (like . and ..). Use the script to rename
the files from the short name to the long name.

Good luck
