Thats pretty much my hardware. Here are some more details...
Windows XP no diskette drive with network access
Ubuntu no diskette drive with No network access (wireless problems
)
Windows 98 with diskette drive no network access
Unix with diskette drive no network access
The TAR files i am dealing with are only 1 directory deep and don't have long filenames, so that wont be a problem.
I will check on the Dos utilities, but I fear the worst. It probably has uucp, and all the computers do have serial ports. Will i need one of those Bi-Directional Serial Cables to use uucp?

6. AIX
Hi there,
I never touch a AIX because i'm used to work on FreeBSD.
I'll have to copy some file from a floppy to an AIX.
Just to be sure is the mount command the same ?
I mean a simple
mount /dev/fd0 /floppy should work ?
Thanks :) (1 Reply)

dxmtools
dxmtools(1) General Commands Manual dxmtools(1)
NAME
dxmtools - DOS Tools Graphical User Interface for manipulating files on an MSDOS diskette
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/X11/dxmtools
OPTIONS
DESCRIPTION
The DOS Tools application, dxmtools, uses a graphical user interface to copy files to and from an MSDOS formatted diskette to manipulate
files on that diskette, in the same manner as the mtools(1) commands, which are accessed from the command line interface.
The DOS Tools application accepts the standard X11 resource options. For more information, see the X(1X) reference page
Use the DOS Tools application to: Copy a diskette file to Tru64 UNIX Copy Tru64 UNIX files to the diskette Create a directory on the
diskette Delete diskette files Format a diskette Change the diskette volume label Change the archive, read-only, hidden, and system
attribute bits on a diskette file Display the contents of a diskette file Find a diskette file by its name, size, or attribute settings
Rename a diskette file.
MSDOS filenames are optionally composed of a drive letter followed by a colon, optional subdirectories, and a filename. Subdirectory names
can use either the '/' or '' separator. The current working directory relative to the diskette is A:/.
The regular expression pattern matching routines follow the UNIX-style rules. For example, an asterisk (*), in place of asterisks separated
by a dot (.) that is *.*, matches all MSDOS files. The archive, hidden, read-only, and system attribute bits are ignored during pattern
matching.
The DOS Tools application requires a diskette properly installed on the system.
The DOS Tools application addresses a device named /dev/disk/floppy; a symbolic link between the diskette device and /dev/disk/floppy is
required.
Online help is available for the dxmtools application. To get help, click on any Help button or use the Help pull-down menu.
The DOS Tools application can be invoked from:
The CDE Application Manager.
Application Group: Desktop_Apps
Desktop_Apps Subgroup: dxmtools
EXAMPLES
Invoke the DOS Tools application from the command line. /usr/bin/X11/dxmtools Open the DOS Tools help volume from the command line without
running the application. /usr/dt/bin/dthelpview -h /usr/dt/appconfig/help/C/dxmtools.sdl
FILES
DOS Tools executable DOS Tools Help Volume Symbolic link for diskette drive.
