Ok, so I got a different error this time, "Install failed!  Unable to find
install\revision.gpf".  I've seen that error before; I felt at the time maybe
it was because I was using a path that was too long?

Let's go through my actions in detail:
- I used cdemu to load ta cd1 in a virtual drive (simply because it mounts the
cd as /media/TOTAL ANNIL rather than if I mount it by hand it ends up in /cdom)
- I ran WINEPREFIX=/tmp/junk/ta winecfg , and checked the letter of the cd
drive (D:)
- I tried running WINEPREFIX=/tmp/junk/ta wine D:\SETUP.EXE , but it crashed
with a page fault at address 0x7bc4442e (thread 0009)
- So, in the spirit of making it easy for people to follow instructions I might
write later, I ran the setup from winefile:

   - WINEPREFIX=/tmp/junk/ta winefile
   - in winefile, changed into D:
   - double-clicked on 'SETUP.EXE'
   - setup launched just fine
   - I clicked on 'regular install'
   - the installation ran until the message 'unable to find
install\revision.gpf'

Where is install\revision.gpf?  Looking at the contents of the cd, it is at
'D:\Install\revision.gpf', with an upper-case 'I'.  Maybe it's looking for
'install' and not finding 'Install'?

By the way I had a look for readme.txt.  There is a 'README.txt', with
uppercase README, lowercase txt, at D:\README.txt, ie in the root of the cd. 
There is no readme.txt at all, in whatever upper/lower case, in the ta
installation target directory itself.

Maybe it's something to do with upper/lower case?
