[OPLINTECH] Open Office

[Ron Dalpiaz]

Lynne,

An ISO image is not executable as downloaded. It is an image that is ready
to be burned to a CD.

Many CD burner programs will do this, such as Nero. The program will
"unpack" the image
automatically. Once burned, the image is readable and executable on a
computer.
