[comp.unix.sysv386] New version of mtools

yergeau@EE-CF.Stanford.EDU (Daniel W. Yergeau) (09/21/90)

I noticed that a new version of mtools was posted to unix-pc.sources on
Sept. 17.
These commands seem to work better than those included with Esix D.  They can
even read the DOS partition on my hard disk (Mess-DOS 3.3), and they correctly
handle subdirectories without barfing with "getfat??" garbage.

Since many of you probably don't get unix-pc.sources, I can mail copies
to a few 
people, or (re)post (where???) if there is enough interest.  Please tell me if 
you want the nroff'd output from the man pages.

Whoa... There is no need to repost.  I mailed the source for Mtools v2.0
to Rich Salz on the same day that I posted it to unix-pc.sources.  That
means that it will appear in comp.sources.unix in a few millenniums.
