If these CDs are just ISO9660 CDs - but with '/' characters in the filenames,
then you will probably not be able to read these files under Unix.
It is best to ask the people that are supplying the CDs to write HFS/ISO9660
hybrid CDs - and not to use illegal characters in the ISO9660 names.
In this way you can mount the CDs as type hfs on your Linux box with any '/'
characters escaped, Mac users can see the HFS CD with '/' characters and
any other user can see a modified ISO9660 name.
