Read 1 File from DOS Diskette to Unix

   	Insert DOS diskette into the floppy drive.   
$ cd dirname   	Get into desired Unix directory.   
$ dosread -a fname   	Read from DOS floppy to Unix.   

The -a option must be used for all text files since it corrects for line feed, carriage return differences between Unix and MS-DOS format files.
