Sorry to break the threading as I was too aggressive with the Delete key. In another fork of this thread it was clarified that one wished to do DOS-style line terminations on the contents of /etc/ to be copied to a floppy. /usr/ports/emulators/mtools/ is what you want. Allows use of the floppy in DOS format without the effort of mounting. The "mcopy" command will translate text files coming or going using the -t option. OTOH if you use this option it will assume everything is text. -- 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.
