We'll use whatever we officially should use to access raw CD-ROM
sectors in win32.  I haven't looked into it enough to know that it's
CDFS, but it definitely isn't MSCDEX.

Can it see DOS CDs and not Mac CDs?  That's the most common failure
these days and it appears to be due to the version of MSCDEX that is
provided by Windows '95.

It was being cracked, so we removed it.  People who need to download a
copy can contact support@ardi.com.
