NAME
     mapnames - make symbolic links to CDROM files

SYNOPSIS
     mapnames [ -v ] cdrom_directory [ target_directory ]

DESCRIPTION
     The mapnames script  creates  a  mapping  between  ISO  9660
     filenames and UNIX filenames for an NCDware CD.  It is meant
     to be used on UNIX  systems  which  support  ISO  9660  file
     systems,  but  do  not support the Rock Ridge extensions for
     UNIX-compatible file naming.

     mapnames  creates  a  tree  of  symbolic  links   from   the
     target_directory   to   an   NCDware   CD-ROM  distribution,
     cdrom_directory.  The symbolic  links  have  the  full  UNIX
     filenames,  rather  than  the  eight-character  name, three-
     character  extension,  and  numeric   version   number,   as
     specified  in  the ISO 9660.  mapnames automatically detects
     ISO 9660 naming conventions for various releases of UNIX.

OPTIONS
     -v   Echos the links as they are created.

EXAMPLE
     The example below shows how to link the files from  a  CDROM
     subdirectory  to  your  hard  disk.  The CDROM is mounted on
     /cdrom.  The subdirectory is /cdrom/archives.

          $ mkdir ncdware
          $ mapnames -v /cdrom/archives ncdware

BUGS
     Because links cannot have owners or modes,  mapnames  cannot
     provide  the  ownership  and  mode  information that is made
     available  through  the  Rock  Ridge  extensions  on   fully
     compliant UNIX hosts.
