<p>Mtools is a public domain collection of tools to allow Unix systems
to manipulate MS-DOS files: read, write, and move around files on an MS-DOS
filesystem <br>
<br>
Mtools are typically used to manipulate FAT formatted floppy disks. Each program
attempts to emulate the MS-DOS equivalent command, these are different from
Windows NT/2000 commands.<br>
<br>
Mtools is sufficient to give access to MS-DOS filesystems. For instance, commands
such as `mdir a:' work on the `a:' floppy without any preliminary mounting or
initialization (assuming the default `/etc/mtools.conf' works on your machine).
With mtools, one can change floppies too without unmounting and mounting.</p>
<pre>MTOOLS Programs
floppyd floppy daemon to run on your X server box
floppyd_installtest small utility to check for the presence of floppyd
mattrib change MS-DOS file attribute flags
<a href="../term_tools/bash/mbadblocks.html">mbadblocks</a> tests a floppy disk, and marks the bad blocks in the FAT
mcat same as cat. Only useful with floppyd.
mcd change MS-DOS directory
mcopy copy MS-DOS files to/from Unix
mdel delete an MS-DOS file
mdeltree recursively delete an MS-DOS directory
mdir display an MS-DOS directory
mdu list space occupied by directory and its contents
mformat add an MS-DOS filesystem to a low-level formatted floppy disk
minfo get information about an MS-DOS filesystem.
mlabel make an MS-DOS volume label
mkmanifest makes a list of short name equivalents
mmd make an MS-DOS subdirectory
mmount mount an MS-DOS disk
mpartition create an MS-DOS as a partition
mrd remove an MS-DOS subdirectory
mmove move or rename an MS-DOS file or subdirectory
mren rename an existing MS-DOS file
mshowfat shows the FAT map of a file
mtoolstest tests and displays the configuration
mtype display contents of an MS-DOS file
mzip zip disk specific commands
xcopy recursively copy a dos directory into another</pre>
<p> Equivalent Windows commands:<br>
<br>
In the same way that `mtools' are DOS/Windows commands ported to run under UNIX,
most UNIX commands have been ported to run under NT.<br>
A very limited selection of POSIX tools are included in the NT resource kits,
more can be found on the net.<br>
Be aware that most UNIX commands running on Windows are case sensitive. </p>
