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

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

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

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 filenames 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:\.
