I recently compiled mtools-2.0.5 (programs to play with DOS disk for workstations) on a DECstation 5000/33, but it doens't work. For example, mformat seems to work, but a later mdir on the same disk returns: disk_read: read: I/O error mdir on a real DOS disk works, but doing any kind of writing fails. for example mcopy ~/.plan a: says Copying X.PLA disk_flush: write: I/O error Has anyone successfully compiled mtools on a Personal DECstation? Are there any other programs to read/write MS-DOS disks on Personal DECstations? --Dan -- Dan Grillo grio@cs.psu.edu [NeXTmail, PrivateMail, MIME welcome]
