3 mtype - display contents of an MSDOS file
16 This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo
17 documentation, and may not be entirely accurate or complete. See the
18 end of this man page for details.

39 return/line feeds to line feeds.
42 \&\fR\&\f(CWMtype\fR strips the high bit from the data.

56 .SH Viewing\ the\ texi\ doc
57 This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo
58 documentation. However, this process is only approximative, and some
59 items, such as crossreferences, footnotes and indices are lost in this
60 translation process. Indeed, these items have no appropriate
61 representation in the manpage format. Moreover, not all information has
62 been translated into the manpage version. Thus I strongly advise you to
63 use the original texinfo doc. See the end of this manpage for
64 instructions how to view the texinfo doc.
67 To generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc, run the following
73 ./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi
82 To generate a html copy, run:
87 ./configure; make html
93 \&\fRA premade html can be found at
94 \&\fR\&\f(CW\(ifhttp://www.gnu.org/software/mtools/manual/mtools.html\(is\fR
97 To generate an info copy (browsable using emacs' info mode), run:
102 ./configure; make info
110 The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html. Indeed, in
111 the info version certain examples are difficult to read due to the
112 quoting conventions used in info.
