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
