I don't get it.  I've tried this (once) and couldn't get it to work.
I created a disk image and them I mounted it.  Then I tried running
the application.  It still complained about the missing CD.

So, the question is, exactly how do you 'mount the CD from that image'
so that it looks like the CD is mounted from the CDROM drive?
