Well, It's official. One of the stipulation of the ISO 9660 format is
that file names must be 8.3 format, which I have been working on doing,
and that they can not contain any _ characters. I have tried to look at
getting rid of the _'s in file names, and updating HTML to allow for
that, but it is just too hard - takes to much time. I would have to
charge $100 or more to cover the extra time this will take... Sorry to
those of you who were waiting for a Mac version of the 3D-CD! =( 

Maybe if everyone who buils web sites, switches all of their content to
8.3 name format with no _'s, next time (Whoever it is that volunteers
for that!) it could be different!
