Has anyone gotten the DOS(1) commands under Xenix on the PC AT to
read the DOS partition on the fixed disk ??  I can get it to read
DOS diskettes just fine, but why go through the intermediate diskette
when the data you want is on the fixed disk.  The commands seem to be
hard wired for diskettes.  I can read the DOS partition raw disk
and see the directory information, so it can't be that hard.  Is there
any real difference in how DOS stores filesystems between diskettes
and the fixed disk ??
