Well silly me for looking in the docs directory at a file called
mkisofs.man instead of in the compiled directory for a file called
mkisofs.8. I did do a "find -type f | grep -i man" in attempt to find
additional man files. The file in the docs directory are both dated
12/24/02..

I do know what version I am using. I am running these with an
explicit path. I keep the versions locally rather than install it on
20 systems. So keeping track is not a problem.

It may be but the output looks the same. I eventually found a 2 year
old newsgroups thread where you go back and forth with another person
having the same problem as me. What happens is there are warning
messages but they don't effect the look of the CD on a Unix host.
Yet I am pretty sure those warnings did rearrange the CD in 1.11. So
my earlier experiences with program don't apply today. After reading
that post I think I understand your logic in the warning messages.
But they get a little messy when you are creating a 4 gig DVD.

Thanks for the program by the way. It may be getting a good workout
in the near future if we stick with it during our archival process.
