In NYUMINIX, I wrote two programs to transfer files between MINIX and MS-DOS, running under NYUMINIX. They are short scripts, in fact. Because I had the nice device driver to handle MS-DOS files for me. The way we use floppy here is: we copy an MS-DOS file, which is a MINIX file system, onto the floppy and carry it. (While running MS-DOS.) These programs will come along with my "Guide to Install NYUMINIX". Benchiao Jai jai@cs.nyu.edu Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
