Paul,
VAX CD-ROMS generally are not ISO. ISO implies the ISO9660 file system, but many VAX CD
ROMS are in native VMS Files-11 format.
Some Windows utilities don't handle these so you need third party software to create
an image of these CD's.
Generally it has a .iso extension but as the content is not ISO9660 you can't mount it
on Windows or Linux.
There a couple of utilities that will convert arbitrary files to image files.
I tend to use CD Burner XP

but you need to click "More download options" and use the "without install
core" versions....

thought a CD-ROM (data CD) *is* an ISO image. So I would expect all you
need to do is make an image copy of the disk. On Unix systems that's trivial,
just use the "dd" command to copy /dev/whatever to myfile.iso.
