ooohh, this might be hard. the cd is a backup of my hdd, i'll have to find
out which software the guy used to burn it. also, i have no idea how to
check what kinda format the cd is, except via mounting it :). mounting it
in 2.0.35 displays the message ISO9660 Extensions: Microsoft Joliet Level 3,
which is where i got my info.

> This must be another MS-propritary format again........

yes...and incompatible with everything else:

- dos cant read it
- os/2 cant handle it properly
- win95 in dos mode cant handle it

having a backup cd in joliet is pretty useless :(. i've heard its possible
to write a hybrid that can be read in DOS tho.
