20 !!Description
21
22
23 The mtype command is used to display contents of an
24 MS-DOS file. Its syntax is:
25
26
27 mtype [[-ts] ''msdosfile'' [[
28 ''msdosfiles''... ]
29
30
31 Mtype displays the specified MS-DOS file on the
32 screen.
33
34
35 In addition to the standard options, Mtype allows
36 the following command line options:
37
38
39 t
40
41
42 Text file viewing. Mtype translates incoming
43 carriage return/line feeds to line feeds.
44
45
46 s
47
48
49 Mtype strips the high bit from the
50 data.
51
52
53 The mcd command may be used to establish the device
54 and the current working directory (relative to MS-DOS),
55 otherwise the default is A:/.
56
57
58 Mtype returns 0 on success, 1 on utter failure, or
59 2 on partial failure.
60
61
62 Unlike the MS-DOS version of TYPE, mtype
63 allows multiple arguments.

71 This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's
72 texinfo documentation. However, this process is only
73 approximative, and some items, such as crossreferences,
74 footnotes and indices are lost in this translation process.
75 Indeed, these items have no appropriate representation in
76 the manpage format. Moreover, not all information has been
77 translated into the manpage version. Thus I strongly advise
78 you to use the original texinfo doc. See the end of this
79 manpage for instructions how to view the texinfo
80 doc.

107 To generate an info copy (browsable using emacs' info mode),
108 run:
109
110
111 __ ./configure; make info
112 __

115 The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html.
116 Indeed, in the info version certain examples are difficult
117 to read due to the quoting conventions used in
118 info.
