Working with a batch file in Windows XP, I wish to burn individual data
files (a very large zip file and a few others) to a CD-RW disk. I know
about UDF formatting, but wish not to use that for reasons of compatibility
with another computer.

I have the command line Nero utility, NeroCmd, but there is precious little
documentation with it. Unfortunately, the only info available is the terse
list of MANY options produces when one simply runs "nerocmd.exe" at the
command line.

I would certainly be grateful to anyone would could either (1) point me to
better documentation of NeroCmd or (2) provide a list of parameter settings
for burning data files readable in Windows. Thanks.

Sorry, I cant help you with NeroCmd, but I know another Command Line Tool

It is called Batchdisc, and you get information at

An alternative is the utils to create ISOs and burn them at www.nu2.nu/bootcd/
.

I have written a one line bat file

nerocmd --write --iso
cdlabel --import_iso_only --underrun_prot --close_session --drivename
d --real --disable_eject %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6


all of this is one line. The files are the arguments change d to your
cdwriter. Label is the label for the new cd. This seems to work.

I have a working example of nerocmd.exe, it's in a batch file designed
to zip a file then burn it onto cd-rw.

<<<Start Code>>>
@echo off

cd c:\

"c:\program files\winzip\wzzip" -u "c:\Well 319\Zip\Order From and
Lookup.zip" "c:\Well 319\lookup.mdb" "c:\Well 319\Order From.mdb"

"C:\Program Files\Ahead\Nero\NeroCmd.exe" --write --drivename e --real
--speed 10 --iso MCandOS_Backup --detect_non_empty_cdrw --enable_abort
--underrun_prot --create_iso_fs "C:\Well 319\Zip\Order From and
Lookup.zip" --force_erase_cdrw

@cls
<<<End Code>>>

to use the zip command line u will need to install winzip command line
support add on

hope this helps anyone trying to use nerocmd.exe
