Re: Reading OpenVMS documentation CD via Linux!?

For what it is worth. Before I answered I tried to reproduce the problem. When trying newer documentation CDs I noticed that they don't have this problem. I could access all the files with specifying them as lowercase names, although some are in UPPERCASE. Without knowing much about the ISO9660 format and its extensions I suspect that there was something missing in the V7.3 Doc CD, same file name mapping information, or such, which seems to be on newer CDs.

Using check=r works for me - this was on Knoppix 5.3.1, which is based on Debian Lenny. It also worked for me this some time ago on an older Linux distribution.
