  Well, while back, a year ago or so, when I wanted to examine
the minix code, I wrote a crude program under MS-DOS (Microsoft
C) that once started, copied the whole minix filesystem from a
floppy drive into close equivalent of MS-DOS file tree. [Close
equivalent meaning, that it copied linked files twice and brutally
truncated filenames to MS-DOS limits...

  I bet there exists more robust programs, I don't know. I didn't
use it much after that.
