- You may want to consider allowing access to the photocd original files
- as well as the iff counterparts. Have the first two entries at CD0:
- be the directories PCD/ and IFF24/. That way we can use "real" photo cd
- utilities. (note, you can probably do this now I don't know, I just got
- this asim thing last week)
