Dear CCLers:
    We set up a linux to run G98. Frequently we need to trasfer input and
 output files to zip disks. Since only root user has privilege to
 mount/unmount zip/cdrom, now the question is: Are there are any ways for
 a general user to do so without login to the root account?
 I asked the same question on a linux forum, but so far there are no answers.
    Thanks!
