Introduction
************
Mtools is a collection of tools to allow Unix systems to manipulate
MS-DOS files: read, write, and move around files on an MS-DOS file
system (typically a floppy disk). Where reasonable, each program
attempts to emulate the MS-DOS equivalent command. However, unnecessary
restrictions and oddities of DOS are not emulated. For instance, it is
possible to move subdirectories from one subdirectory to another.
Mtools is sufficient to give access to MS-DOS file systems. 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.
This manual is for Mtools (version 4.0.18, January 2013), which is a
collection of tools to allow Unix systems to manipulate MS-DOS files.
