I'm not sure about mounting an ISO as a subdirectory, but there are a variety of programs that will allow you to mount ISO files as virtual drives on a Windows machine. And if I'm remembering properly, Mac OS will automatically mount an ISO file as a virtual drive. --- Kevin McKenzie

I am wondering how >other sites are handling these files? Personally, since I use Linux, I simply do a "loop" mount of the ISO file. Something like: sudo mount file.with.doc.iso /mnt -oro,loop I can then look in the /mnt subdirectory for the documentation. If I need to get this on a Windows platform, then I use "zip" to zip the /mnt subdirectory to a file and ftp it to my mainframe, then back down to the Windows server (my Linux box is not use any Windows shares to do a direct transfer). Otherwise, get a DVD burner and software, and burn the ISO to a physical CD or DVD and use that on your Windows machine. I don't know of any way to mount an ISO file as a subdirectory in Windows. -- John ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
