Michael, If I understand correctly, you receive info on CD and copy the files to an HP3000 HFS directory. This can be done by configuring the HFS directory as a Samba/iX share. You can map the share and load the CD on your PC. Then copy and paste. The files will be MPE bytestream and may come over as read- only.
