- New in the v2.0 release....
-
- 1) Support for multiple devices. Mtools now supports:
- multiple floppy disks (A:, B:, etc)
- DOS partitions on a hard disk
- DOS "images" such as those VP/ix uses.
-
- 2) Wildcards are supported anywhere in a pathname (not just
- in the "filename" part as before)
-
- 3) Reads and writes to slow devices are now "cylinder buffered"
- when appropriate.
-
- 4) Versions of CD, FORMAT, LABEL, and ATTRIB have been added.
-
- 5) A Mtools.1 manual page has beed added for an overview of Mtools.
-
- 6) The mkmanifest command has been added. Although not an 'mtool'
- command, it makes life easier when fixing up Unix filenames that
- get clobbered by MSDOS file name restrictions.
-
- 7) The mkdfs program of the "fast-mtools" release for the Sun
- SparcStation can be replaced with mformat.
-
- 8) The Configure file has been included to help those who must add
- devices to the devices.c file.
-
- Many thanks to Viktor Dukhovni (viktor@math.princeton.edu) for
- many of the ideas in the new release.
