MTYPE(1)            UNIX Programmer's Manual             MTYPE(1)


NAME
     mtype - display contents of an MSDOS file

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

DESCRIPTION
     Mtype displays the specified MSDOS file on the screen.

     Mtype will allow the following command line options:

     t    Text file viewing.  Mtype will translate incoming car-
          riage return/line feeds to line feeds.

     s    Strip high bit.  Mtype will strip the high bit from the
          data.

     MSDOS subdirectory names are supported with either the '/'
     or '\' separator.  The use of the '\' separator or wildcards
     will require the names to be enclosed in quotes to protect
     them from the shell.

     The mcd command may be used to establish the device and the
     current working directory (relative to MSDOS), otherwise the
     default is A:/.

SEE ALSO
     mcd(1), mread(1)

BUGS
     Allows multiple arguments, which does not follow the MSDOS
     convention.
