Has anybody said anything about /usr/ports/emulators/mtools/? Mtools: mcd, mdir, mcopy, etc, are much easier to use than mounting the floppy as they don't require the floppy to be mounted at all, just inserted. Using mtools you can not execute a file on the floppy. Mtools might have problems with multiple simultaneous access to the floppy files, where mounting the floppy won't. Mtools supports long file names. Mounting might also too, but since discovering mtools I've never bothered to mount a floppy. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
