Does anyone have any "improved" msdos disk manipulation commands for the pc
7300 under Unix?  The existing commands are marginally useful---they don't
allow you to delete files on the msdos disk, they won't overwrite files that
you want to replace on the disk, they format the disk with eight sectors per
track rather than nine (which causes the IBM RT's disk reading program to
get confused), they don't directly support IBM PC text formats with CRLF
instead of \n and ^Z at the end, etc.

Thanks for any information.
