mtype(1)
NAME
  mtype - mtools utility to display the contents of a DOS file

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

OPTIONS
  -t  Specifies text file viewing.  Line terminators are converted to the
      appropriate format.

  -s  Strips the high bit from the data.

DESCRIPTION
  The mtype command displays the specified file on the screen. Unlike
  conventions, this command supports multiple arguments.

  Subdirectory names that contain the '/' or '\' separator are supported.  If
  you use the '\' separator or wildcards, you must enclose file names in
  quotes to protect them from the shell.

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

EXIT STATUS
  The following exit values are returned:

  0   Success.

  1   Failure.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
  The following environment variables affect the execution of mtype:

  MCWD
      If set, this variable names the file that contains the name of the
      current mtools working directory as established by the mcd command.  If
      this variable is not set, the file $HOME/.mcwd is used.

FILES
  $HOME/.mcwd
      Contains the name of the current mtools working directory as
      established by the mcd command.  If this file does not exist, the
      default mtools working directory is A:\.

  /usr/bin/mtools/mtype
      Executable file
