It might be a Joliet CD.  In another example of strategic
incompatibility, Microsoft invented their own long filename extensions
for Lose95. It's called Joliet (as in, the prison), presumably since
that's where Gates belongs. :-)

Anyway, I don't think NetBSD supports Joliet. Anyone feeling ambitious? :-)
