- On the down side is that the CD is in ISO 9660 format which makes
- it next to useless from the point of view of using standard UNIX
- tools to copy it to wherever. But, it does come with this program
- that symbolic links the contents into /usr/freeware. It's pretty
- straight forward to hack the code to output shell comands to | sh.
