This is a collection of MSDOS tools to allow you to read and write to
MSDOS formatted diskettes from your AT&T Unix PC 7300. These commands
are intended to replace the 'md_write' and 'msdos' commands that run
under the User Agent.
Mtools offers a significant advantage over the programs supplied with
your PC 7300. For example, you can copy several files (or and entire
diskette) with a single command, rather than the UA way of high lighting
and clicking each file one at a time. The tools closely emulate MSDOS
so that you don't have to learn another command interpreter... you can
just close your eyes, pretend you're on a MSDOS machine, and everything
will work as you'd expect.
The following MSDOS commands are emulated:
Mtool MSDOS
name equivalent Description

mdel DEL/ERASE delete a MSDOS file

mren REN/RENAME rename an existing MSDOS file
mtype TYPE display contents of a MSDOS file
mwrite COPY write (copy) a Unix file to MSDOS
