An ISO file is a complete cd image file (I think!). A quick Google reveals software that will read it - but I have never tried this so beware...

Thanks.

Now that I understand that, I realise that I should have been asking:

What is the best way to burn an ISO file on a CD, and what are the best programs 
to use for doing that?

An ISO file is a standard CD format file. You can use "winrar" available @ www.download.com to "view" the file contents. It is like winzip with additional formats supported

Nero is a popular program (easy graphical interface for choices of burn type) for burning it and I believe ISO is the default image type for the program as well. These's also Alcohol 120% that many use that supports various file types.

Actually .nrg is the default image file in Nero but recognizes most of the most common image types.Deepburn is a free one that does all of the most common burning formats as well. http://www.deepburner.com/?r=download
