dxmtools(1)dxmtools(1)NAMEdxmtools - DOS Tools Graphical User Interface for manipulating files on
an MSDOS diskette
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/X11/dxmtools
OPTIONSDESCRIPTION
The DOS Tools application, dxmtools, uses a graphical user interface to
copy files to and from an MSDOS formatted diskette to manipulate files
on that diskette, in the same manner as the mtools(1) commands, which
are accessed from the command line interface.
The DOS Tools application accepts the standard X11 resource options.
For more information, see the X(1X) reference page
Use the DOS Tools application to: Copy a diskette file to Tru64 UNIX
Copy Tru64 UNIX files to the diskette Create a directory on the
diskette Delete diskette files Format a diskette Change the diskette
volume label Change the archive, read-only, hidden, and system
attribute bits on a diskette file Display the contents of a diskette
file Find a diskette file by its name, size, or attribute settings
Rename a diskette file.
MSDOS filenames are optionally composed of a drive letter followed by a
colon, optional subdirectories, and a filename. Subdirectory names can
use either the '/' or '\' separator. The current working directory rel‐
ative to the diskette is A:/.
The regular expression pattern matching routines follow the UNIX-style
rules. For example, an asterisk (*), in place of asterisks separated by
a dot (.) that is *.*, matches all MSDOS files. The archive, hidden,
read-only, and system attribute bits are ignored during pattern match‐
ing.
The DOS Tools application requires a diskette properly installed on the
system.
The DOS Tools application addresses a device named /dev/disk/floppy; a
symbolic link between the diskette device and /dev/disk/floppy is
required.
Online help is available for the dxmtools application. To get help,
click on any Help button or use the Help pull-down menu.
The DOS Tools application can be invoked from:
The CDE Application Manager.
