Getting back to the main question, "Is there a way to have Mac applications
and ISO applications on the same CD-ROM, while retaining Mac interface
elements?" (sic)....

Yes, do this:

Have your Mac application and files on one DAT tape, your ISO files on a
QIC, send it to 3M, and ask for a hybrid disk ( dual volume) premastering
and mastering.

Or, to have  multiple platforms share common data files, do this:

Have the Mac stuff DAT include a separate directory at the root level
called "common", for the common data files between platforms. Make sure all
the common stuff is ISO filename compliant.

Have the iso stuff on a QIC.

Order from 3M a premaster-master called "hybrid disk without versioning
numbers".

We know because we've done it, and our latest product works on Mac,
Windows, and almost all UNIX boxes.
