Why not report to disk file and then ftp files to NT as just disk files.
Then import into another database for retrieval.  Leave the files on NT
and set security so not changes. Either at directory level or by setting
file to read only.

        Importance:     High

        Hello,

        I have been given the project of finding a hardware/software
combination to
        present to a user group meeting in the middle of March.  The
idea is  to
        allow our clients to take spoolfiles from the HP3000, write them
to a CD-ROM
        on a NT server, and be able to find the data in an indexed
manner.

        For example, take a years of payroll data located on the HP3000,
put into a
        spoolfile from a report, transfer it onto a CD-ROM located on a
NT4.0
        server, then allow the payroll department users to access the
data on the
        CD-ROM by employee name, social security number, and/or employee
number.

        Is this possible?  Do you need both mastering software and
indexing
        software?  Will any CD-ROM recorder that is on the HCL for NT4.0
work?

        TIA
