I generated an iso file but "file disk1.iso" says
simply "data".

using less i compared the beginning of the iso image
with another one I knew was valid. The beginning is
identical: a bunch of zeros. Then there appears to be
the label. In the ccd2iso generated image the label is
8 bytes closer to the beginning of the file than the
valid image.

investigating the src, I find that the first 8 bytes
are skipped when writing sector 0. Removing this
special case produced a recognizable iso.

    I can confirm this--valid isos were extracted only after I hacked out the 8 byte skip.

    Could the next person to notice this upload a patch?
