	I would like to be able manipulate files on a DOS diskette
while sitting at a SUN4. There is incompatibility with the file
allocator that unix uses with the one that dos does. Does anyone have
that type of a program, know of a site of where to find one, or has enough
information to program one (in C)? It is possible to read the blocks
on a dos diskette on a sun4, but it is straight reading and no
interpretation by the system. Hence, there is no way to seperate files
or to see whether there are different files. Any help would be
appreciated.
				Thanks in advance
