Name
    mtype - display contents of an MSDOS file

Note of warning
    This manpage has been  automatically generated from mtools's texinfo
    documentation, and may not be entirely accurate or complete.  See the
    end of this man page for details.

Description
    The mtype command is used to display contents of an MS-DOS file. Its
    syntax is:

    mtype [-ts] msdosfile [ msdosfiles... ]

    Mtype displays the specified MS-DOS file on the screen.

    In addition to the standard options, Mtype allows the following command
    line options:

    t   Text  file  viewing. Mtype translates incoming carriage
    return/line feeds to line feeds.

    s   Mtype strips the high bit from the data.

    The mcd command may be used to establish the device and the current
    working directory (relative to MS-DOS), otherwise the default is A:/.

    Mtype returns 0 on success, 1 on utter failure, or 2 on partial fail-
    ure.

    Unlike the MS-DOS version of TYPE, mtype allows multiple arguments.

Viewing the texi doc
    This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo
    documentation. However,  this process is only approximative, and some
    items, such as crossreferences, footnotes and indices are lost in this
    translation process. Indeed, these items have no appropriate represen-
    tation in the manpage format. Moreover, not all information has been
    translated into the manpage version. Thus I strongly advise you to use
    the original texinfo doc. See the end of this manpage for instructions
    how to view the texinfo doc.

    *   To generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc, run the fol-
    lowing commands:

     ./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi

    *   To generate a html copy, run:

     ./configure; make html

    A premade html can be found at:  `http://mtools.linux.lu' and
    also at: `http://www.tux.org/pub/knaff/mtools'

    *   To generate an info copy (browsable using emacs' info mode),
    run:

     ./configure; make info

    The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html. Indeed, in
    the info version certain examples are difficult to read due to the
    quoting conventions used in info.
