[good description of using 8-sector format and cpio]

I find it easier to use the "mtools" package on both machines using a DOS
formatted disk.  To avoid modifying the filenames by converting to DOS
standards or to compress the data, either zoo or cpio | compress can be
used to generate an intermediate file.
