If they are in the older DEM format you should be able to use one CD at a time by directing TF to use the drive as the DEM directory.

If it works with one CD you could always copy them all into one directory on your Hard Drive to do all at the same time.

Let me know if it works!

It's been a while since I've used actual DEM files but I believe the .DEM format should be read correctly.  Give it a try.

Go to Options->General->DEM Directory and point it to one of your CDs and one of the directories where all the DEM files are.

Then restart TF and see if you have elevation data in an area you know is covered.  It might make startup of TF a little slower.
