You can use the mtools package. It provides a set of commands that lets you read, write and manipulate files on an MSDOS system. Its most typical use is to transfer files between a linux system and a diskette. Specifically: say you have a DOS-formatted diskette in the floppy drive of your linux box, then you can: mdir a: (list the files on the diskette) mcopy FOO a:BAR (copy the linux file FOO to the floppy and name it BAR) mcopy a:FOO BAR (copy the file FOO from the floppy to the linux system and name it BAR) mdel a:FOO (delete the file FOO on the floppy) The mtools package is probably on your system already. If not, you can find it in the `otherosfs' section of the debian archive, Jim
