For what it's worth, I've used this on a *cough* copy of software that
was stored in vcd/audio style for some odd reason (the block size as
mentioned in a different post was larger than the default for a data
cd).  It wasn't to squash data on, seeing as it was only 600M, I guess
perhaps just to offer some vague protection.

After running bchunk, I had a larger file and iirc could mount it as
iso9660 to copy data out of.  But It didn't work as a bootable install
when I tried writing it.  I then saw I could just use cdrdao to use
the cue file to write this to a cdr in the format it wanted which
worked.

Thanks,

Damion
