William,

   Interesting output from command line of my Fedora 17 system...

[howard at rev ~]$ growisofs --version
* growisofs by <appro-6n+bmRoGAL6ci/EUP2OQSw at public.gmane.org>, version 7.1,
  front-ending to mkisofs: mkisofs 2.01 is not what you see here. This line is only a fake for too clever
GUIs and other frontend applications. In fact, this program is:
genisoimage 1.1.11 (Linux)
[howard at rev ~]$ 

   When I get new equipment, I have to hack around with it a bit.
