Hey guys,

I have a bit of a problem.  I have a CD-ROM that has been physically
damaged -- however the physical damage is only at the *very* end of the
medium, but it's umountable as a result.  I can dd 113 MB of data from
it, but I can't mount the image that I've created of it, either.

What I'm wondering is if there are any tools or scripts that can grep
through an ISO9660 filesystem and recover as many files as it can read.
 Any ideas?

If there is no such thing yet, I'm not adverse to creating such a tool,
so long as there is something better then the official ISO9660 spec
which is not really comprehensible by me.

	Thanks,

	Mike
