linking to a CD-drive

[Tim Lohrentz]

I am building a website that will have two versions - one
online and one offline. I can create an offline version
that could be downloaded to the user's c: drive. But the
organization wants to use the offline version as a
marketing piece by handing people a CD. I don't know how
to create a link to the cd-drive. Obviously
d:\filename.htm works but only if the local computer has a
cd drive named d:. In many cases the cd uses a different
letter. So is there a wildcard protocol? I have tried #,
$, %, &, ? and none seem to work. I am hoping that I
don't have to edit the html for each file because this
would not be feasible given the budget for this project.
