NAME
  dxmtools - DOS Tools Graphical User Interface for manipulating files on an
  MSDOS diskette

SYNOPSIS
  /usr/bin/X11/dxmtools

OPTIONS
  [X resources]

DESCRIPTION
  The DOS Tools application, dxmtools, uses a graphical user interface to
  copy files to and from an MSDOS formatted diskette to manipulate files on
  that diskette, in the same manner as the mtools(1) commands, which are
  accessed from the command line interface.

  The DOS Tools application accepts the standard X11 resource options.	For
  more information, see the X(1X) reference page

  Use the DOS Tools application to:

    ·  Copy a diskette file to Tru64 UNIX

    ·  Copy Tru64 UNIX files to the diskette

    ·  Create a directory on the diskette

    ·  Delete diskette files

    ·  Format a diskette

    ·  Change the diskette volume label

    ·  Change the archive, read-only, hidden, and system attribute bits on a
       diskette file

    ·  Display the contents of a diskette file

    ·  Find a diskette file by its name, size, or attribute settings

    ·  Rename a diskette file.

  MSDOS filenames are optionally composed of a drive letter followed by a
  colon, optional subdirectories, and a filename. Subdirectory names can use
  either the '/' or '\' separator. The current working directory relative to
  the diskette is A:/.

  The regular expression pattern matching routines follow the UNIX-style
  rules. For example, an asterisk (*), in place of asterisks separated by a
  dot (.) that is *.*, matches all MSDOS files. The archive, hidden, read-
  only, and system attribute bits are ignored during pattern matching.

  The DOS Tools application requires a diskette properly installed on the
  system.

  The DOS Tools application addresses a device named /dev/disk/floppy; a
  symbolic link between the diskette device and /dev/disk/floppy is required.

  Online help is available for the dxmtools application.  To get help, click
  on any Help button or use the Help pull-down menu.

  The DOS Tools application can be invoked from:

  The CDE Application Manager.
  Application Group: Desktop_Apps
