OK, I see. Well, below my suggestion for an update to the man-page. I'd
guess you'd get tons of mail about this, if 'mkisofs' would be a tool
that's used by more people. IMHO it's always a bug if there's a
difference between the documentation and the program.

Also, version 1.05 of 'mkisofs' is available now, while SNAP-960801
includes 1.04.

Bye, Martin
