    Actually burning a single big file was about the only option I had not
    tried. The file I have downloaded has a garbage title and a generic
    icon but Disk Copy will open it and create an image. The problem is
    that all the files and folders in the image are named to ISO standards
    rather than something that Linux would understand. I am not sure when
    this happens, in Disk Copy, probably. I tried just now to create an
    image from the file with my burner software (Discribe) and it wouldn't
    read the file. Thanks for your suggestion though. The real filenames
    are saved in each directory in a file called TABLE, something or
    another. Seems like there should be some way to reconstruct it. I am
    guessing that the files themselves have not been altered, only the
    names. Renaming a couple thousand files by hand is not something I am
    prepared to do.
