- I use mtools to copy to/from DOS disks from a SPARCstation all the time. You
- can also format, change file attributes, etc. Here is a slice from the man
- page:
-
- mattrib - change MSDOS file attribute flags
- mcd - change MSDOS directory
- mcopy - copy MSDOS files to/from Unix
- mdel - delete an MSDOS file
- mdir - display an MSDOS directory
- mformat - add an MSDOS filesystem to a low-level formatted diskette
- mlabel - make an MSDOS volume label
- mmd - make an MSDOS subdirectory
- mrd - remove an MSDOS subdirectory
- mread - low level read (copy) an MSDOS file to Unix
- mren - rename an existing MSDOS file
- mtype - display contents of an MSDOS file
- mwrite - low level write (copy) a Unix file to MSDOS
