Hello,

I am pleased to announce the release of GNU mtools version 4.0.11.

GNU mtools is available for download from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mtools and the mirror sites worldwide (see
http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html for the list of those).

The signed sources can be obtained from ftp.gnu.org and its world-wide
mirrors:

  ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mtools/mtools-4.0.11.tar.gz    (463K)
  ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mtools/mtools-4.0.11.tar.bz2   (374K)

The same directory also contains pre-compiled Debian and RPM packages.


Mtools is a collection of utilities to access MS-DOS disks from Unix
without mounting them, to change FAT-specific file attributes
(hidden, archive, system), and to format FAT media.

Mtools supports W32 style long file names, FAT32, OS/2 Xdf disks and
2m disks (store up to 1992k on a high density 3 1/2 disk). Mtools also
includes mpartition, a simple partitioning programing to setup Zip and
Jaz media on non-PC machines (SunOs, Solaris, HP/UX, ...). It is also
a convenient tool to work with disk image files (thanks to the -i
flag).

Since version 4.0.0 mtools now has full support for Unicode filenames.


For more information on mtools, including links to file downloads,
please see the mtools web page: http://www.gnu.org/software/mtools

Please email bugs or suggestions to <info-mto...@gnu.org>.


Improvements since the 4.0.10 release are:

* Mtools is now able to deal with NULL bytes in short DOS names
* Fixed compiler warnings in mlabel.c and elsewhere
* Fixed h flag in mattrib.c
* Added missing error checking in floppyd and elsewhere

Regards,

Alain
