It invariably truncated every time I copied it. I finally got a good copy at inria.inria.fr. The version I located is v2.0, and has support for CD, FORMAT, LABEL, and ATTRIB, plus a mkmanifest tool to assist in restoring unix file names that get lost in the translation to DOS file names. -- comp.archives file verification cerl.cecer.army.mil total 118 -rw-r--r-- 1 319 0 1304 Apr 15 21:57 Readme -rw-r--r-- 1 319 0 34541 Apr 15 21:57 mtools_patches1-4.Z -rw-r--r-- 1 319 0 27195 Apr 15 21:57 mtools_sh.1.Z -rw-r--r-- 1 319 0 25590 Apr 15 21:57 mtools_sh.2.Z -rw-r--r-- 1 319 0 15952 Apr 15 21:57 mtools_sh.3.Z -rw-r--r-- 1 319 0 10420 Apr 15 21:57 mtools_sh.4.Z found mtools ok cerl.cecer.army.mil:/pub/mtools/
