       mtype - display contents of an MSDOS file

Note of warning

       This  manpage  has  been  automatically  generated  from  mtools's  texinfo documentation, and may not be
       entirely accurate or complete.  See the end of this man page for details.

Description

       The mtype command is used to display contents of an MS-DOS file. Its syntax is:

       mtype [-ts] msdosfile [ msdosfiles... ]

       Mtype displays the specified MS-DOS file on the screen.

       In addition to the standard options, Mtype allows the following command line options:

       t      Text file viewing.  Mtype translates incoming carriage return/line feeds to line feeds.

       s      Mtype strips the high bit from the data.

       The mcd command may be used to establish the device and the current working directory  (relative  to  MS-
       DOS), otherwise the default is A:/.

       Mtype returns 0 on success, 1 on utter failure, or 2 on partial failure.

       Unlike the MS-DOS version of TYPE, mtype allows multiple arguments.

Viewing the texi doc

       This  manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo documentation. However, this process
       is only approximative, and some items, such as crossreferences, footnotes and indices are  lost  in  this
       translation  process.   Indeed,  these  items  have  no appropriate representation in the manpage format.
       Moreover, not all information has been translated into the manpage version.  Thus I strongly  advise  you
       to  use  the  original texinfo doc.  See the end of this manpage for instructions how to view the texinfo
       doc.

       *      To generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc, run the following commands:

                     ./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi

       *      To generate a html copy,  run:

                     ./configure; make html

       A premade html can be found at `http://www.gnu.org/software/mtools/manual/mtools.html'

       *      To generate an info copy (browsable using emacs' info mode), run:

                     ./configure; make info

       The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html.  Indeed, in the info version certain  examples
       are difficult to read due to the quoting conventions used in info.
