Linux Commands: allow Unix systems to manipulate MS-DOS files


mtools-Linux Command

mtools

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

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.

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.
