DOSREAD(1) General Commands Manual DOSREAD(1)NAME
dosread - read a file from an MS-DOS diskette [IBM]
SYNOPSIS
dosread [-a] drive file
OPTIONS -a ASCII file
EXAMPLES
dosread C g/adv >adv
# Read file g/adv from hard disk
dosread -a A prog.c >x
# Read ASCII file prog.c from drive A
DESCRIPTION
Dosread reads one MS-DOS file and writes it on standard output. The file name must use slash, not backslash as a separator. ASCII files
have the final CTRL-Z stripped, and carriage return plus line feed are mapped to line feed only, the usual MINIX convention. See dosdir on
the use of single letter drive codes.

dxmtools(1) General Commands Manual dxmtools(1)NAME
dxmtools - DOS Tools Graphical User Interface for manipulating files on an MSDOS diskette
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/X11/dxmtools
OPTIONS DESCRIPTION
The DOS Tools application, dxmtools, uses a graphical user interface to copy files to and from an MSDOS formatted diskette to manipulate
files on that diskette, in the same manner as the mtools(1) commands, which are accessed from the command line interface.
The DOS Tools application accepts the standard X11 resource options. For more information, see the X(1X) reference page
Use the DOS Tools application to: Copy a diskette file to Tru64 UNIX Copy Tru64 UNIX files to the diskette Create a directory on the
diskette Delete diskette files Format a diskette Change the diskette volume label Change the archive, read-only, hidden, and system
attribute bits on a diskette file Display the contents of a diskette file Find a diskette file by its name, size, or attribute settings
Rename a diskette file.
MSDOS filenames are optionally composed of a drive letter followed by a colon, optional subdirectories, and a filename. Subdirectory names
can use either the '/' or '' separator. The current working directory relative to the diskette is A:/.
The regular expression pattern matching routines follow the UNIX-style rules. For example, an asterisk (*), in place of asterisks separated
by a dot (.) that is *.*, matches all MSDOS files. The archive, hidden, read-only, and system attribute bits are ignored during pattern
matching.
The DOS Tools application requires a diskette properly installed on the system.
The DOS Tools application addresses a device named /dev/disk/floppy; a symbolic link between the diskette device and /dev/disk/floppy is
required.
Online help is available for the dxmtools application. To get help, click on any Help button or use the Help pull-down menu.
The DOS Tools application can be invoked from:
The CDE Application Manager.
