1 Introduction
1 ************
1
1 Mtools is a collection of tools to allow Unix systems to manipulate
1 MS-DOS files: read, write, and move around files on an MS-DOS file
1 system (typically a floppy disk). Where reasonable, each program
1 attempts to emulate the MS-DOS equivalent command. However, unnecessary
1 restrictions and oddities of DOS are not emulated. For instance, it is
1 possible to move subdirectories from one subdirectory to another.

1 Mtools is sufficient to give access to MS-DOS file systems. For
1 instance, commands such as `mdir a:' work on the `a:' floppy without
1 any preliminary mounting or initialization (assuming the default
1 `/etc/mtools.conf' works on your machine). With mtools, one can change
1 floppies too without unmounting and mounting.

1 This manual is for Mtools (version 4.0.18, January 2013), which is a
1 collection of tools to allow Unix systems to manipulate MS-DOS files.
