mtools—utilities to access DOS disks in UNIX

mtools is a public domain collection of tools to allow UNIX systems to manipulate MS-DOS files read, write, and move around files on an MS-DOS file system (typically a floppy disk). Where reasonable, each program attempts to emulate the MS-DOS equivalent command. However, unnecessary restrictions and oddities of DOS are not emulated. For instance, it is possible to move subdirectories from one subdirectory to another. mtools can be found at the following places (and their mirrors):
