The "mtools" package posted to comp.sources and unix-pc.sources will
let unix machines w/PC compatible disk drives read and write to the
MDOS file system.  It is also useful as a handy archive format even
if you don't actually want to access the files under DOS, although you
lose some of the unix filenames if you don't use zoo or cpio to
bundle the files first.
