I just got Mtools from CompuServe ( :-( ), and compiled it A-OK under SCO Xenix 386. I don't know what I ever did without Mtools. If you're tired of waiting for doscp to finish, download Mtools in the meantime. Thanks again to Emmet Gray. Dave Smith

Since several people have inquired about Mtools' location, I am re-posting Emmet's article: -------------------------------------------------------------------- Mtools is a public domain collection of programs to allow Unix systems to read, write and manipulate files on an MSDOS filesystem (typically a diskette). The following MSDOS commands are emulated: Mtool MSDOS name equivalent Description ----- ---- ----------- mattrib ATTRIB change MSDOS file attribute flags mcd CD change MSDOS directory mcopy COPY copy MSDOS files to/from Unix mdel DEL/ERASE delete an MSDOS file mdir DIR display an MSDOS directory mformat FORMAT add an MSDOS filesystem to a low level format mlabel LABEL make an MSDOS volume label mmd MD/MKDIR make an MSDOS sub directory mrd RD/RMDIR remove an MSDOS sub directory mread COPY low level read (copy) an MSDOS file to Unix mren REN/RENAME rename an existing MSDOS file mtype TYPE display contents of an MSDOS file mwrite COPY low level write (copy) a Unix file to MSDOS The current version of Mtools is v2.0.4 (meaning version 2.0 at patch level 4) Mtools v2.0 was posted to the unix-pc.sources news group (and mailed to Rich Salz, the moderator of comp.sources.unix) on the 17th of September 1990. Since then, patches 1-4 have been posted to unix-pc.sources, comp.sources.bugs, and emailed to Rich Salz. The "always current" version of Mtools and all the patches are available via anonymous ftp from cerl.cecer.army.mil (129.229.1.101). I've also placed the files in the ~ftp/tmp/mtools directory on uunet.uu.net. Emmet P.

Since there's all this interest in mtools, here's a little script to
list *all* files on a disk, recursively.
#!/bin/sh
# shar: Shell Archiver (v1.29)
#
# Run the following text with /bin/sh to create:
# mrdir
#
echo "x - extracting mrdir (Text)"
sed 's/^X//' << 'SHAR_EOF' > mrdir &&
X:
X#!/bin/sh
X#
X# rdosdir - recursive DOS directory for mtools
X#
X# Author: Bill Davidsen, 12-11-86
X# converted to mtools 6-14-91
X#
X# Arguments:
X# 1 - disk and directory
X# 2 - columns of output (opt)
X# 3 - print colums (opt)
X
X# see if user needs help
Xif [ $# -eq 0 -o "$1" = "-h" ]
Xthen # output help and quit
X echo "\n\n$0: command format, options in [brackets]"
X echo " $0 StartDir [print cols] [print width]"
X echo "\nExample:"
X echo " $0 a: 2 90"
X echo "print all directories on disk A:, double column"
X echo "page width of 90 columns"
X exit 0
Xfi
X
X# see if print columns specified
Xif [ -n "$3" ]
Xthen
X width=w$3
Xfi
X
X# process the current directory
Xtemp=/tmp/dd.$$ # temp file name
Xmdir $1 | sort >$temp
Xecho "\n$1\n"
Xpr -${2}${width}t $temp
X
X# build a list of subdirectories
Xsubdir=`awk '
X{ if ($3 == "<DIR>") print $1 "." $2;
X if ($2 == "<DIR>" && substr($1,1,1) != ".") print $1
X}' $temp`
X
Xfor dirname in $subdir
Xdo
X $0 $1/$dirname $2 $3
Xdone
X
X# clean up
Xrm $temp
SHAR_EOF
chmod 0755 mrdir || echo "restore of mrdir fails"
exit 0
