   Then I would like a single file that is the .cue followed by the .iso.   
      
   So my firmware BIOS will need to know which bit of the   
   TOC data structure to be able to know when to switch   
   command to read data instead of TOC?   
      
   I will also need to write a utility that can separate out a   
   combined file into individual .cue and .iso. It will need the   
   same knowledge as above.   
      
   Thanks. Paul.
