DOS Transfers Using Mtools

There is a public domain collection of tools known as Mtools used for manipulating DOS floppies and their files from within Unix systems. If you are on an IBM machine you may as well use the native dosread, doswrite, and dosdir command package. If not, then your local Unix may have mtools (try man mtools) or you may be able to get it free off the network.

Next we give mtools' collection of commands, each of which emulates the DOS command without the m in front.
