[comp.unix.xenix] reading Xenix disks under MSDOS

ked@garnet.berkeley.edu (Earl H. Kinmonth) (09/10/88)

Some time ago I asked for information on programs to read Xenix disks
from MSDOS. The response was zero. Since then, I have written my own
for Turbo C. The program will read 360, 720, and 1200 k SCO Xenix disks
under MSDOS. If the disk was written with tar, cpio, shar, etc. on the
Xenix side, the resulting file from my conversion program is proper
input for the corresponding program under MSDOS.

Note that this program accepts original Xenix disks, not those made
with the dosformat/doscp programs.

Since the response to my initial request was zero, I am assuming that
this program is only of very limited interest. I do not want to bother
submitting it to one of the groups that transmits sources or binaries.

If anyone is interested, they can request the (quite brief) Turbo C
source code by e-mail.
