	At one leve, the answer depends on the format of the CD-ROM. Both OpenVMS and PC systems can read ISO-9660 format CD-ROMs. I am not aware of ODS-2 format file system software for a PC, though there may be a few applications around. Some OpenVMS CD-ROMs are dual-format -- the data is accessable both as ODS-2 and as ISO-9660. The availability of tools to read the data on the CD-ROM is also an issue -- bookreader-format documentation files and OpenVMS software binaries are not generally useful nor intelligible on a PC.
