If you mean software that lets the same files be read by all systems, 
this is
easy - you make the CD with ISO-9660 filenames only and it can be read by
anything.

However, if you want long UNIX filenames (Rock Ridge), Mac resource forks for
all the nice icons and Win95 long filenames as well, it isn't going to 
happen.
These systems conflict with each other's use of the same directory and they
are not at all compatible.

Supposedly using one of the newer formats, Romeo, I think, you can get up to
31 character filenames for Win95 and Mac, but UNIX won't see them.  Sadly,
long filenames for UNIX aren't compatible with anybody else yet.
