The Microsoft book, unfortunately, provides only a high-level
description, lacking the details necessary to actually write any
code.  The "official" standard is ISO 9660, "Information processing --
Volume and file structure of CD-ROM for informaton interchange."
You can get it from Global Engineering Documents, 800-854-7175,
or 714-261-1455.  The document is very pricey: $60 for 31 pages.
Its also about as easy to understand as the tax code.  But, it
is The Standard.
