If it's a one time deal, then just pop the cd into the cd reader on your universe box and us OS commands to copy the files to a directory accessible by universe. Then write a small program to read these files and do with them what you will.

I have the flexibility of choosing the format the files contained on the CD-ROM. I'd prefer to avoid hand-crafting a program, but am open to using a freely distributable, (and free) third-party tool. A tool that is the converse of DOWNLOAD would be excellent, or a command-line program that imports from a standard formatted file would be fine, too. Any suggestions?
