MToolsFM is a GTK based file-manager which gives people easy access to
|
||
|
|
MS-DOS (Windows) floppies. It uses the mtools collection of utilities
|
||
|
|
as a backend. Although originally designed for floppies, any disk
|
||
|
|
mtools works with can be accessed: Jaz, Zip, Syquest, IDE, or even
|
||
|
|
disk images.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Why MToolsFM? (Modified from the MToolsFM web-page):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The disadvantage with mtools is that nowadays there are not many
|
||
|
|
people who know about DOS-commands. And who would ask a UNIX newbie
|
||
|
|
to learn DOS ;-) ? This is why you need MToolsFM: It gives you a
|
||
|
|
simple, easy to use file-manager interface for accessing your
|
||
|
|
floppies. It has the advantages of mtools, but you do not have to
|
||
|
|
learn the DOS-commands.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is particularly helpful if you administer a NetBSD-box used by
|
||
|
|
people who are more familiar with MS Windows. These people can now
|
||
|
|
access floppies without the long explanation and you'll have more
|
||
|
|
time. ;-)
