ghost

I have a bunch of ghost image files to edit. These are Windows OS images, and I need to add a few files into the them.

I could have used Ghost Explorer (GhostExp.exe) to modify them one by one, but it would be nicer to have a command line utility to do the trick, so that I can write a script to do this automatically for me.

Any suggestions?
