OK, let see if I can think this process through out loud.

I am aware of 3 paths I am aware of:

1. the source path. M:/*.*

2. the destination path.

Where I want the ISO file written to:
H:/ISOIMAGES/ecs11cd1.iso

3. the log file path.

write the log file to:

H:/APPS/CDRECORD/ecs11cd1.log

Oops

-b eltorito_boot-image
Specifies the path and filename of the boot image to be
used when making an "El Torito" bootable CD.

4. M:/BOOTIMAG/cdloader.bin

-e boot_catalog
Specifies the path and filename of the boot catalog to be
used when making an "El Torito" bootable CD.
The pathname must be relative to the source path
specified to MAKISOFS.

I am afraid I never learn the significance of "relative."

5. M:/BOOTIMAG/boot_cat.bin

OT

What about

-d
Omit trailing period from files that do not have
a period.
???
BACK ON TOPIC
-------------

-graft-points

Allow to use graft points for filenames. If this option
is used, all filenames are checked for graft points. etc.

No where do I see a definition of what a graft point is and/or why
one would use it. ???

Why isn't

-l
Allow full 31 character filenames.

needed? I have some long file names.

The only

-m

I see is:

-m glob

Exclude glob from being written to CDROM.

What is a "glob" ???

-o filename

is the name of the file to which the iso 9660 filesystem
image should be written.

Why isn't there any mention about a path???

-path-list file

A file containing a list of pathspec directories and file
names to be added to the ISO9660 filesystem.

??? I am not aware that I want to add anything to the
ISO9660 filesystem? My understanding is that everything
that I want in the ISO9660 filesystem ISO image is in
Drive M:\.

-relaxed-filenames

The option -RELAXED-FILENAMES allows ISO9660 filenames to
include digits, uppercase characters and all other 7 bit
ASCII characters...

I think i need this. ???

And lets not forget

-V volid

Specifies the volume ID ...

-V ECS_CDRUN

That is all for now.

Thanks
