First time i tried the software of same name unknown version (IBM
ThinkPad T42, Windows XP Professional), i selected "Data Disc" and
chose the ISO image.  Well, it did do its job: i got the ISO image
/file/ on the CD.

After more poking around in the software interface, "Burn Image" or
some such option was revealed under the heading of "Data Disc" or
some such.  And, that too did its job: i got the mini install ISO
image on CD to boot with.
