MSDOSCAT(1)  —  UNIX Programmer’s Manual

NAME

msdoscat − catenate files from msdos 3.2 micro diskettes. 

SYNOPSIS

msdoscat [ −b ] [ −t ] file ...

DESCRIPTION

msdoscat writes to standard output the named file(s) on an msdos (version 3.2) micro diskette. 

Each file name may be preceded by −b or by −t to indicate that that file and any subsequent files up to the next −b or −t indicator are to be regarded as binary or text. This is because text files under msdos have lines terminated by carriage-return and line feed rather than just line feed as under UNIX, and with the −t option, carriage-return characters are stripped. 

If no −b or −t options are specified, text mode is everywhere assumed. 

If a member of a subdirectory is required, UNIX-style / notation is used to search down the directory tree on the diskette. The characters of the arguments may be in upper or lower case, and the filename extension and its initial dot may be omitted if blank. 

FILES

/dev/rfdf512
