Ok. So the CD was mounted as iso9660 and the hfs driver was doing the long
filename bit.  It still had the "/"'s in the filenames problem.

I  solved the problem by finding someone with a mac notebook and an ftp
client that could copy whole directory trees.  It did filename mangling
on the bad characters too. / = %2F
