Further Info,
The document management system is running on Solaris *not* AIX (my
bad)
The filesystem of the archive CD is not a problem.
The intention is to provide files on the document server to be
archived to optical storage.
As some of these files are ftp'd as binary from os390, I wish to use
"dd" on Solaris to restore the individual records.
I have tried "find" using "-exec" but cannot get "dd" to expand
"{}"
When I attempted "| xargs" that also seemed to require "{}"
Christopher's suggestion, the "read" loop, does the trick.
Thanks to all that offered help and advice, confirming this list as the
best.
You guys are definitely one of the jewels in SuSE's crown.
Kudos to y'all!

How are you going to read the files back though from the cd?
You've
lost all of the filesystem information by using dd instead
of
something like tar.
