I did something similar a long time ago, when some people at DEC were working
to create an "Everything for RSTS/E" CD (similar, I think, to what was done for
VMS at that time). In my utility "rstsflx" I added a mode to produce a split
structure somewhat like what you mentioned, but simpler. The RSTS file system
looked like a CD file, and the rest of the CD looked like allocated space to
the RSTS file system.
I heard rumors that the CD it was meant for was created, but I never actually
saw one.
