ISC doesn't know how to mount ISO-9660 CD-ROMS as Unix file- >systems (though I hear SunOS can mount them as type hsfs, envy envy.) Actually, I believe SCO Unix will also allow High Sierra format CD-ROMS to be mounted as file systems. It has been a long time since I tried this, but I think it worked just fine. Of course, it is probably too late since you already bought Interactive, but others might benefit from this info. As has been mentioned elsewhere, Stan's Own Server, an NFS server for DOS should also allow this, though I haven't tried it. The last time I looked at that it required Sun's PC-NFS development library to compile, that was also a while ago. I know it is on uunet.uu.net and probably other places as well.
