Hello,
I am pleased to announce the release of GNU mtools version 4.0.33
GNU mtools is available for download from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mtools and the mirror sites worldwide (see
http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html for the list of those).
The sources can be obtained from ftp.gnu.org and its world-wide mirrors:
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mtools/mtools-4.0.33.tar.gz (519K)
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mtools/mtools-4.0.33.tar.bz2 (430K)
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mtools/mtools-4.0.33.tar.lz (373K)
The same directory also contains pre-compiled Debian packages.
Mtools is a collection of utilities to access MS-DOS disks from GNU
and Unix without mounting them, to change FAT-specific file attributes
(hidden, archive, system), and to format FAT media.
Mtools supports W32 style long file names, FAT32, OS/2 Xdf disks and
2m disks (store up to 1992k on a high density 3 1/2 disk). Mtools also
includes mpartition, a simple partitioning programing. It is also a
convenient tool to work with disk image files (thanks to the -i flag).
For more information on mtools, including links to file downloads,
please see the mtools web page: http://www.gnu.org/software/mtools
Please email bugs or suggestions to <info-mtools@gnu.org>.
Improvements since the 4.0.32 release are:
- Fix support for partitions (broken in 4.0.30)
- Portability fixes for Solaris 10 and 11
- General simplification of configure script, and largefile
handling
- Tested and fixed for platforms *without* largefile support
- In cases where lseek works with 32-bit offsets, prefer lseek64
over llseek
- Fixed floppy sector size handling on platforms that are not
Linux
- Added support for image files on command line to mcat
Regards,
Alain
