There seems to be some confusion here!

Marc Wandschneider (storm@cs.mcgill.ca) what are you trying to do?

I thought that you wanted to copy files between a 386BSD pc and a DOS
pc -> use a dos formatted floppy and mtools.

Eilon Gishri (eilon@aristo.tau.ac.il) thinks you wanted to copy files
between two 386BSD pcs -> use a dos formatted floppy, label and newfs it.


Please put one of us out our their misery!

Hoping I've not stood on anyones toes ( sorry if I have :-( )
