As an almost useless note: Xenix (PC unix) was used to develop DOS and early versions of Windows. Which is why a lot of DOS was similar to unix shells-
cd, more, pipes, redirection.

I know nothing of unix and didn't know where to start. I've heard of a DOS to Unix translator, and since I know DOS pretty well, I thought that this program would be perfect. Any help you could give me would be appreciated.

msdosfs
MSDOSFS(5) BSD File Formats Manual MSDOSFS(5)
NAME
msdosfs -- MS-DOS file system
SYNOPSIS
options MSDOSFS
DESCRIPTION
The msdosfs driver will permit the FreeBSD kernel to read and write MS-DOS based file systems.
The most common usage follows:
mount -t msdosfs /dev/ada0sN /mnt
where N is the partition number and /mnt is a mount point. Some users tend to create a /dos directory for msdosfs mount points. This helps
to keep better track of the file system, and make it more easily accessible.
It is possible to define an entry in /etc/fstab that looks similar to:
/dev/ada0sN /dos msdosfs rw 0 0
This will mount an MS-DOS based partition at the /dos mount point during system boot. Using /mnt as a permanent mount point is not advised
as its intention has always been to be a temporary mount point for floppy and ZIP disks. See hier(7) for more information on FreeBSD direc-
tory layout.
