Hello, I am pleased to announce the release of GNU mtools version 4.0.47
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-4.0.47.tar.gz (548K) SHA-1: 9b29726f14f335f0b2095daf0bc94075e969cd40 http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mtools/mtools-4.0.47.tar.bz2 (445K) SHA-1: 83c90990051c18dedb6c28ecb011c7be81eb51cd http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mtools/mtools-4.0.47.tar.lz (383K) SHA-1: e214730c33b97e88b20695ee1823e8c9a1c819ac 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). 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 4.0.46 release are: - fixed some of the manpage issues reported by manpage-l10n - unix-dir copying on Windows fix - new no-daemon mode for floppyd to make testing easier - make floppyd independant of XauFileName (portability) - autoconf fixes Copying and distribution of this file, with or without modification, are permitted in any medium without royalty provided the copyright notice and this notice are preserved.
