OK so I copied "environ.dat", "ifile", "lo_comp.lis" and "hi_comp.lis" from my
GUIDE8 install dir to the Linux machine into the directory holding the compiled
code. This makes the get_dss application ask for a CD! Hurray! Only two problems
left:

1) I cannot mount the CDs under Linux. Mount complains about the blocksize on
the CD being different than the block size of the file system I am trying to
mount the CD on.
2) So I inserted the correct CD into my laptop sharing the cdrom drive. Next I
mounted the shared drive onto Linux and put this line in "environ.dat"

DSS_DIR=/media/cdrom0

which is the directory the cdrom is mounted to. Unfortunately, get_dss doesn't
recognise this, so I am left clueless once more. Let's see what idea pops into
my mind next.
