We have a new DEC 5000/25 connected to Internet. At present we don't
have it connected to a decent printer. I want to copy text files from
the machine onto a msdos formatted floppy to print using a WP package.
I've been told to use the "mcopy" routine from "mtools" but this is not is
not installed on my machine. Does anyone know where I can get a copy of
this software ?
thanks in anticipation
