RE: [tbox-l] How to mount diskette image file

[J. S. <lba...@ho...>]

Pierre ,

Well, you cant actually mount floppy disks in AIX. However, if it is a DOS 
formatted disk then you are in luck. Install the bos.dosutil fileset (it's 
on the AIX cd's), which give you dosdir,dosformat,dosread,doswrite. These 
commands will allow you to read/write dos formatted disks in AIX.


Hope this helps.


PS:
For general AIX questions, please post on the according aix newsgroups like 
for example comp.unix.aix. This mailing list is STRICTLY for AIX Toolbox for 
Linux related matters.



Sincerely,

John Smith.
