TopoUSA 4.0 DVD for CD customers

For those that bought TopoUSA 4.0 on CD (7 CDs - 1 install and 6 data), there's a fairly easy way to convert them to DVD and have all the regions available to you at all times.

Basically, you need to make a new directory structure with a 'Data' directory and copy a couple files from each of the other CDs. I won't bore you with all the particulars, but will give you a list of what my DVD looks like once compiled:
