You might take a gander at CDR software that'll create images for you.
Some of the early versions of easy cd creator deluxe would extract
images, that turn out to be ISO.
Check www.daemon-tools.net for a fair pile of links..
It kinda looks like 'simdisc' will do what you want, if it doesn't
actually require a CDR drive, and this is a one off thing (As the
simdisc download is a eval version).
Can't say I've tried most of these though, and I'd strongly make certain
your anti-virus software is current, as daemon-tools is at least grey..

Yes, I went through the exact same thing...
I couldn't find anything under MS-Windoze which would get the CD directly.
It helps to have a dual-bootable machine with MS-Windows and
Linux/NetBSD/FreeBSD/whatever
I rebooted my machine under Linux and just do the "dd" command
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=vms.img
(which you probably already know about).
Then I copied the resulting file to a FAT-mounted drive and after that,
I rebooted the machine under MS-Windows and the file was readable under
SIMH on Windows. That file can the be burned onto a regular CD-R,
shipped off to your friend (I'm assuming here that everybody has all
of the correct & legal software licenses), and your friend can use
the CD-R from Windows...they don't need to dual boot.
I don't think there is any way for SIMH on Windows to read the CD
directly, you need the intermediate image file first.
