I noticed that the "inst" program expects the filenames of the sets to be
"something.tar.gz" rather than the "SOMETHING.TAR" as they are on the CD.

Before installing them, you need to rename the files - and then Bob should
be your uncle. (Alternatively, you cold probably edit the line in the .SET
file from "something.tar.gz" to whatever you wanted, but I haven't tried
this).

Have fun!
