Re: Image catalogs

[vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I don't think this is the same thing. I hope I can be clear here. When you look 
at a CD in Explorer you are not seeing what is called an image of the CD. The 
image is a byte copy of the raw contents of the CD, header, trailer, etc. A 
hard drive image of it will be a single file.

You cannot make an image entry from a typical Windows or IFS directory tree - 
it either has to be the optical device, or it has to be an ISO-compatible image.

Clear as mud? Hope not.
