Transfer Entire Directory, DOS to Unix

Let's say we have a DOS directory notes, all of whose files we want to read into Unix. The steps are similar to the above. First insert the floppy. Next, get into the Unix directory where you want the DOS files copied. Then create the Unix file (we call it dosread.dir):

 
#!/bin/ksh   	Use ksh (see Chapter 5).   
dosfiles=`dosdir notes`   	List DOS files in directory notes.   
for i in $dosfiles   	Repeat for each file name.   
do   	   
dosread -a notes/$i $i   	Read from floppy directory notes.   
done   	                 

To write all files in the current Unix directory to the DOS directory notes, you need replace the dosread line above with the doswrite line:

%doswrite -a $i /notes/$i   	Read into DOS directory notes.
