DOS Transfers Using Mtools

There is a public domain collection of tools known as Mtools used for manipulating DOS floppies and their files from within Unix systems. If you are on an IBM machine you may as well use the native dosread, doswrite, and dosdir command package. If not, then your local Unix may have mtools (try man mtools) or you may be able to get it free off the network.

Next we give mtools' collection of commands, each of which emulates the DOS command without the m in front.

mattrib: Change DOS file attribute flags.
mcd: Change DOS directory.
mcopy: Copy DOS files to/from Unix.
mdel: Delete DOS file.
mdir: Print working DOS directory.
mlabel: Label a DOS volume.
mmd: Make DOS subdirectory.
mrd: Remove DOS subdirectory.
mread: Read (low level) DOS file to Unix.
mren: Rename existing DOS file.
mtype: Print contents of DOS file.
mwrite: Write (low level) Unix file to DOS.
