[comp.unix.xenix] Any MSDOS Drivers to read/write the Xenix partition?

srodawa@vela.acs.oakland.edu (Dr. Srodawa) (03/06/90)

Under xenix, doscp will allow me to read/write MSDOS disk files in the MSDOS
hard drive partition.  I would like to be able to do the opposite..read and
write Xenix files from the Xenix partition while running MSDOS.  Does
anyone know of a PD program to do that?  Note I would prefer a driver that
allowed all MSDOS usage to work rather than just a "xenix copy" because the
files I want to read/write a often larger than my MSDOS partition.  Ron.

I would also find this useful! In my case i want to be able to import
news files (from their Xenix directories) into a MS-DOS BBS. If it can be
done I would be very interested!

Richard
