Description

MToolsFM is a GTK based file-manager which gives people easy access to MS-DOS (Windows) floppies. It uses the mtools collection of utilities as a backend. Although originally designed for floppies, any disk mtools works with can be accessed: Jaz, Zip, Syquest, IDE, or even disk images.

Why MToolsFM? (Modified from the MToolsFM web-page):

The disadvantage with mtools is that nowadays there are not many people who know about DOS-commands. And who would ask a UNIX newbie to learn DOS ;-) ? This is why you need MToolsFM: It gives you a simple, easy to use file-manager interface for accessing your floppies. It has the advantages of mtools, but you do not have to learn the DOS-commands.

It is particularly helpful if you administer a NetBSD-box used by people who are more familiar with MS Windows. These people can now access floppies without the long explanation and you'll have more time. ;-)
