Well, I can do with less than 8 levels of subdirectory nesting, if I copy
the /pub/cbm archive to a subdirectory that is located directly off the
root of the CD.  Now I wasted two levels by placing it in
/ftp.funet.fi/pub/cbm.

Macs have their own extensions (whose name I forgot), and also M$ had to
develop its own non-standard, called Joliet.
