DESCRIPTION
       Dosread	reads  one MS-DOS file and writes it on standard output.  The file name must use slash, not backslash as a separator.  ASCII files
       have the final CTRL-Z stripped, and carriage return plus line feed are mapped to line feed only, the usual MINIX convention.  See dosdir on
       the use of single letter drive codes.
