A collection of tools to allow Unix systems to read, write, and move around files on an MS-DOS filesystem (typically a floppy disk).
More details on each command can be obtained by typing
man commandname at the command line, e.g.
man mdir. With mtools the disk drive is referred
to as a: but it is not always necessary to specify this.
fdformat format a disk mdir display contents of a disk mcd change directory on a disk mmd create a directory on a disk mcopy copy file(s) from/to Linux/disk eject remove disk from driveThese days you may find the last command opens a CD drive rather than floppy, in which case you'll just have to press the eject button!
