Hi John,

I can do the above [mount read-only] using the current version of ISOFS 
as notified on VOICE-NWS (2007-01-09):

With the IFS loaded, double-clicking any .iso file alternately mounts it 
as next available drive-letter|unmounts it again.
The included command files allow specifying which drive-letter to use. 
Multiple .iso files can be simultaneously mounted, subject to 
drive-letter availability.

One advantage of NetDrive is the ability to mount any number of *.iso 
files to the same driver letter (as well as NFS or anything else that 
you might feel like).
