Solaris 9 downloaded .rr/ISO confusion

The SPARC Solaris 9 Download of the "Solaris Software Companion CD" results in a 445Mb file called s9ccd-sparc.iso.zip, so far so good. Unzipping results in a file called "software_companion_sparc.rr" - what am I supposed to do with this? I'm guessing that ".rr" represents Rock Ridge extensions therefore, can I simply add the extension ".iso" and burn it to CD under windows, or do I need to make it available on my network to a *NIX machine and use "mkisofs" before burning? Or do I need to use "pkgadd" on the SPARC Solaris box to just directly access the file?
Any help would be very much appreciated as Sun's documentation at http://wwws.sun.com/software/solaris/freeware/s9download.html is confusing. Thanks!

use Easy CD Creator's "create image" to burn an ISO file to CD. May be there other way to burn that CD but that's what I tried (with LINUX) and it is the only way that worked for me. Forget about renaming/adding extensions/just copying....etc, they will all not work, burning an ISO is a very special thing that the burning software is taking care of.
