File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: mtools-win32

Notes:
mtools.zip Readme File
13th September 2002

This is a small archive of containing a working mtools 
installation, for accessing FAT disk images under Windows.
The files contained are:

mcopy.bat	Copies file(s) to/from a disk image
mdel.bat	Deletes files
mdir.bat	Provides a directory listing
mtools.conf	Config file for mtools
mtools.exe	Code for all mtools commands
readme.txt	This file

Feel free to create additional mtools batch files for the
other commands. I have included the ones I use most
often in this file. Make sure you check mtools.conf before
you start doing anything; in particular, check the paths
to the disk images for drives A: and C:.

The syntax for each command is the same as you'd expect 
from their DOS equivalents, except:
- mtools expects paths of the form X:\DIR1\DIR2 to be
paths inside the disk image, and those of the form 
/dir1/dir2 to be local ones (this is because mtools 
originally started in Unix). Therefore, you can't copy
files to/from another drive.

- mdel has a bug where the last character of the file
name is ignored. For example:
	mdel c:\autoexec.bat
...doesn't work, whereas:
	mdel c:\autoexec.batt
...does work (the last character is ignored)

Good luck, and I hope these are useful.
