Doesn't look like it's going to fly. :-(    I created a "Privateer 2"
directory on my C drive and copied the contents of the three CD's into it
(consolidated all the movies in one movie directory and did not copy in dup
files from 2 and 3).  However when I try to install, it wants CD 1 and I
have to alt-tab out to end the install program.
