Hello, I am pleased to announce the release of GNU mtools version 4.0.46
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 sources can be obtained from ftp.gnu.org and its world-wide mirrors: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mtools/mtools-4.0.46.tar.gz (546K) SHA-1: 384ed5b423b166bfbc67146c1d9eccfb80ca7cdb http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mtools/mtools-4.0.46.tar.bz2 (443K) SHA-1: 5e5367da1fa76254aa5fb179aa5f2c225697138e http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mtools/mtools-4.0.46.tar.lz (383K) SHA-1: 19261c7ac4375e2f8ef4237e14d814fedf2ff4cc The same directory also contains pre-compiled Debian packages. Mtools is a collection of utilities to access MS-DOS disks from GNU and 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. It is also a convenient tool to work with disk image files (thanks to the -i flag).
