ULTRIX Version 4.2 includes support for ISO 9660 and High-Sierra CDROMs. 
It is implemented as a 'cdfs' file system type.  On my DECstation, I can
mount a CDROM at mount point /cdrom, bring up SoftPC, point SoftPC's
logical MSDOS drive E: at /cdrom and run MSDOS applications off of the
CDROM !  Needless to say, I can also access /cdrom from ULTRIX in standard
manner.  I also export /cdrom so other's may NFS mount it.  In addition,
local VAX's (VMS-type) can access /cdrom via DECNET .
