Add Files was obstinately refusing to do its magic. I honestly didn't 
know about the pressing enter trick. I saw lots of complaints but no-one 
saying the workaround. No matter, It has full functionality when it is 
set to XP compatibility mode.

To add to this, those of you who use linux may have noticed that 
CiderPress falls apart at the seams if you try to use it with a fairly 
clean Wine setup, or if you do what I do and add dlls as needed from that 
dll-files site.
What fixes CiderPress right up is using the 2000 vcredist.exe package 
from MS. It gives the right versions of the files which CP needs to work 
correctly.
I haven't set up physical volume mapping yet but I know it is possible so 
if there is any interest I will look into it. I probably will anyway as 
it will save me two reboots.
