That's because it interpreted it as a pathspec.

That's not the problem. You have to supply all switch options before the
pathspecs. Try:

mkisofs -v -o fl.1 -r -J -b fl.2 -c fl.3
-no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4
-log-file H:/APPS/CDRECORD/makecs11cd1.log
M:/

You can try it. Let me know if it causes problems. I perfer my file
names to go out unsullied, so I never use the option.

No. That's perfectly legal.

HTH,
