I have found true joy and happiness in the ease-of-use this "mtools" utility (and her sisters) affords me!! But it leaves me wondering two things: 1. It doesn't seem to support wildcards (i.e. `mmove a:*.sh .`) 2. Why doesn't `mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /floppy` support long filenames so I can just work directly with the diskette? (e.g. I want to tar and gzip all the files on my floppy but first must mcopy them all to a temporary directory *then* tar and gzip the local copies unless you have a better way) PS - If you've read this far, here's a handy tip to say thanks! Try `mdir a: | sort +4 -5` to sort the listing alphabetically by full filename. -- Peter Leftwich President & Founder Video2Video Services Box 13692, La Jolla, CA, 92039 USA +1-413-403-9555 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
